the fact is that it only worked at first boot after installation. I cannot now install again fedora on this computer. Too complicated now. Is there anyway to solve this modifying alsa settings or whatever?
The mixer is ok. all the volumes levels are high noone is mute. I just can't figure out what the problem is. I also tried with another pci sound card and everything was fine.
Thanks Kevin
my modprobe.conf is now

I add to modprobe.conf your lines but it does not change anything. It's so strange. I tried also bulding modules in kernel and installing new alsa libs and utils but nothing changed.
Carlo,
Get your card to work. You indicated that "(just after installation)" your card works. At that point, run the mixer and make sure that *all* of the sliders you care about are in the proper positions (sound levels, unmuted, etc). (Its a known problem that the sliders are not all in the right states at this point. It has been discussed at length here many times.) Then run the "/usr/sbin/alsactl save" command. This will save your "good" mixer state for restore at a later time.
*Now* make sure that the install and remove lines are still properly in your modprobe.conf file (as you indicated above). Once you've gotten sound working properly, and you save the state, the next time you re-boot, when it auto-loads the modules, it should restore your good mixer settings, and your soundcard should then be working.
It helps to understand *what* the lines in modprobe.conf actually do in order to understand how this jury-rigging should work.
Like I said before, we both have nForce2 chipsets, so it should work for you as it does for me....
Good luck!
