Hi I experienced a power down on my FC7 box. After booting I found the soundcard not working. System-config-soundcard found the card but when trying to play the test sound it quickly pops up the dialog asking if I heard the, but after a 1-2seconds so it's way to short. I'm also unable to set anything there. So I ran FC7-Live cd (gnome) and there the card was found and worked as expected so it isn't burned or something. I compared kernel modules in both cases, so for FC7-Live its: snd_hda_intel 24409 0 snd_hda_codec 202689 1 snd_hda_intel snd_seq_dummy 7877 0 snd_seq_oss 33345 0 snd_seq_midi_event 11073 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 50353 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_usb_audio 79425 0 snd_pcm_oss 43489 0 snd_mixer_oss 19393 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_usb_lib 19393 1 snd_usb_audio snd_rawmidi 26561 1 snd_usb_lib snd_pcm 74565 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_device 11853 4 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_hwdep 12869 1 snd_usb_audio snd_timer 24773 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 53189 12 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_usb_audio,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep,snd_timer soundcore 11553 1 snd snd_page_alloc 13769 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm and for FC7 on my HDD its: snd_hda_intel 24281 0 snd_hda_codec 202689 1 snd_hda_intel snd_seq_dummy 7877 0 snd_seq_oss 33345 0 snd_seq_midi_event 11073 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 50353 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_usb_audio 79297 2 snd_pcm_oss 43489 0 snd_mixer_oss 19393 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_usb_lib 19393 1 snd_usb_audio snd_pcm 74565 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_pcm_oss snd_rawmidi 26561 1 snd_usb_lib snd_seq_device 11852 4 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_timer 24773 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 12869 1 snd_usb_audio snd 53189 16 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_usb_audio,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep snd_page_alloc 13769 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm soundcore 11553 1 snd So I don't see to much difference here :( not missing modules at least. Thanks for any suggestions! Przemek -- AIKIDO TANREN DOJO - Poland - Warsaw - Mokotow - Ursynow - Natolin info: http://www.tanren.pl/ phone: +48501516666 email: dojo@xxxxxxxxx
