I've just been into FC5, presuming that's what your using, to check it out, and alsasound is there. I am using a kernel from planetccrma, along with Alsa stuff, and sound apps from them, but Alsa, when I installed FC5 worked just fine OOTB with my Ensoniq card. What machine is this on? And are you using a roll your own kernel? Have you had Alsa working on it? Will you post the output of /sbin/lsmod. Also, run. cat /proc/asound/cards and cat /proc/asound/version Do you see any output with those? Also, have a look in /etc/rc.d/init.d , and see if there is anything Alsa related. Over to you. Nigel.
