Perhaps the codec is now incorporated in snd-hda-intel, much as tda9887 is now incorporated in the tuner module for my TV card since kernel 2.6.18. It is strange though that you are getting complaints about "unable to initialise codec". I'm going to ask on the Alsa user list, so can you post the output of cat /proc/asound/version , as I've got F7 booted with the earlier kernel at the mo, because the latest kernel, along with udev is messing with my video devices, and Xawtv keeps bringing up the webcam on /dev/video1, rather than The TV card on /dev/video0. > Thanks for the help, > > Dave... It's worth seeing if the earlier kernel is still available using Yumex. I use Apt, and Synaptic, and as default saves all kernels, but I always disable the installonlyn plugin in /etc/pluginconf.d, changing enabled=1 to enabled=0. That way all kernels will be saved, and you never know when you might need to revert to an earlier one, if a new kernel presents some problems. Nigel.
