Today, I downloaded the FC6 LiveCD, and sound seems to work via that, so I know that Fedora CAN still use my sound system and it's just something screwy in my config files. To test, I looked at the modprobe.conf loaded on the LiveCD, and used that on the machine (with a few small things added for firewire, ethernet, USB and disabling IPV6). This did NOT help, leading me to believe that there is a config file that needs to be changed/removed. I just don't know where. Any suggestions? Unfortunately, unlike the apparent target audience for Fedora, I can't start from scratch every six months when a new version comes out. I'd like to stick with Fedora, but if stuff like this keeps happening I may need to shift to something else. Feh. -Don
