I experienced this same issue last night and it was because snd.o wouldn't properly load. Here are the resources I used to get past the issue. I followed the instructions on http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Analog+Devices&card=AD1985&chip=AD1985&module=intel8x0 up to the point it does a 'make' (just after ./configure --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-sequencer=yes). As the following page suggests do: touch include/linux/workqueue.h http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg09428.html Now go ahead and make/make install and continue with building the libs and utils > 4. then I thought of installing OSS the commertial one > to see if it works there.

The commercial one works just fine. I was having issues with choppy sound with the ALSA driver with Quake 3 and I used the commercial one to see if it worked.. It did work fine and fix the issue with Q3... > I have an asus p4p800-vm main board with onboard sound > card. I am troubled.

I need to play them can anyone help The steps above should get you past the sound card issue. As for mp3 on Fedora you still have a ways to go...
