It is time for some truths. The actions of the alsa support for sound
has been screwy since FC1. The behavior is hardware dependent. I am
getting sound on a machine where system-config-soundcard says it can
not recognize a soundcard. With FC1 and FC3 the soundcard is
obviously recognized since the appropriate lines are placed in the
modprobe.conf file. FC2 had no lines put in this file so sound does
not work on the machine even if I put the lines in the file by hand.
Anyway to get sound working on under the versions of FC which will
produce sound the process is one of:
1. configuring channels with alamixer
2, setting the volume with the volume control option.
3. If you want the CD-s to play and gnome-cd won't do it and it
does not on this machine use grip and it works.
