dear katherine, I have sound problem with fc4 too. I got no sound from my pc speaker(of dell600m inspiron notebook) upon fresh installation despite alsamixer configured repeatedly. Interestingly, i got sound from my Headphone. My notebook uses AC97' soundcard. So, i reinstall my notebook with fc3 and then upgrade to fc4 ; the pc speaker worked for a few times before it gave error. Luckikly, no problem with fc4 sound with my desktop using intel gbf865 mobo. p/s:- this fc4 is a bit weird. --- Katherine <katherine.hajer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all: > > I was just contemplating the upgrade to FC4 when my > previously-working > sound stopped completely.
