Any further advice. Can you post the output of /sbin/lsmod, just to see what has been loaded. Also you could try as root /usr/sbin/alsactl restore. If there are any mixer settings there, this should get something showing in alsamixer. Post the output of cat /proc/asound/cards as well, just to see where the card is located. I'm still using FC1,2,3,4,and 5. I've seen so many problems with FC6 that I'm glad I havn't installed it yet. Over to you. Nigel.
