When I first installed Fedora Core 3 alsa was
installed by default but the alsa driver
snd_via82xx didn't work: it produced a
buzzing noise whenever anything was played.
So I recompiled the kernel and switched to the free
oss driver via82cxxx_audio. With this
driver I can play files from the command line
without the buzzing noise, but now I can't
get it to work in Gnome. Both the card
detection and hardware detection utility in Gnome insist that driver is still snd_via82xx even though now those modules are no
longer installed. I get the impression that
either Gnome or the Fedora version of Gnome is "hardwired" to use alsa, but I can't be sure of this as I haven't been able to
find any good documentation on the sound system
anywhere - Gnome Help, Google, Gnome website, etc. I've seen some
references to sound server and ESD, but I haven't
seen any indication of esd running on the
system. Any help at all even if just where I could find more
information would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
George
