Ok, friends. It's time to sound off. (umm.. I mean sound ON. How long can I go without sound?)
I have followed various threads about this but I have never got sound with Linux on this machine, whose sound hardware is working under dualboot Windoz.
Hardware: Dell 4500 with 82801BA/BAM AC'97.
OS: FC3 2.6.10-1.770
I have followed the advice as far as muting headphone and line-jack sense, to no avail.
Also, when running the sound-detection applet, I have tried answering yes or no, with no results.
My /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 dmfe
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/a lsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/mo dprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

Seems like this is beyond help on fc3. Do I have a better chance with sound on FC4T1?
Thanks;

Just my 2c on this - I HOPE SO.
Sound is a major problem on FC3. I'm sick of having to work around it. Why on earth the mixer has those weird defaults which simply don't work is beyond me.
Basically the only way I can get sound to work is:
1> Detect the sound card.
2> Use alsa-mixer to unmute all and pump the volumes up to the highest possible.
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCCESS! (Another reason to dual boot into Windoz - gone.)
3> Use alsa save command to then save those settings.
I didn't see any save command, but it works.
4> Then in my rc.local I run the alsa restore command to load them up at boot-up.
I'll need to google rc.local. Thank you much! -nat
