I always set that setting to ALSA and keep it there - haven't had many
problems with that config.
All programs that have a setting for it, I also set to ALSA.

Hi,
The sound in my FC6 installation was workings since I installed it in
Oct 2006.
Now it suddenly stopped working and I'm not aware of changing anything.
<snip>
Just for record, my AC97 onboard sound just stopped while listening to a
Real Player stream. Had been working previously with no problems. Did
nothing to stop sound such as playing with mixer, updating stuff, etc.
Reboot did not help. Finally this "fixed" it:
In kde ctrl panel, set hardware from autodetect to oss
get error about /dev/dvd not present.
Test sound fails.
Set to hardware to alsa.
Test sound works again!
Set back to autodetect.
Test sounds still works.
Must be a bug somewhere, but who knows.
