Hey.
Really appreciate this bit of help !

system-config-soundcard gives this output :

prompt > system-config-soundcard

The log produced is below (which is probably much more useful !).

Good question.
I wish I could tell you !

Well presumably you discovered that it existed from somewhere. It doesn't exist here.

How is one 'supposed' to start sound ??

Sound starts itself if discovered and configured by FC5. You don't need to install any special Alsa things.

What happens when you run

system-config-soundcard

-Andy

I have a similar hardware (that is working)

I note that in my modprobe.conf I have:

alias eth0 natsemi

alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

Nothing else...maybe it can help...
