Well, this weekend I was THAT desperate removed the soundcard and
cleaned modprobe.conf.
After reinserting the card it was detected and the entries in
modprobe.conf where made automatically.
But - still no sound!
Everything is like it was before. Now I really wait for the FC7 re
installation.
I'm afraid I will never solve this mystery.
Jeez, what kind of soundcard is it? IRQ conflict might not be out of the
question. If you're still desperate, jerk more cards out to see if that
resolves a possible conflict. What kind of mo-board and processor, how
much ram? I assume you have checked the mixer, got the speakers plugged
in,? Plugged into the "speaker out" and not the "mike"? (I've done
that!) They are turned on and the volume about halfway up.
If it's a good ole ISA SoundBlaster AWE64, they have mentioned that
support has been dropped and it takes a bit of wrangling to get one to
work. Ric
