They were all named with a rc1-4 until the final release with no modifier. On my fully updated F7 cat /proc/asound/version gives 1.0.14 while the latest rpm package is 1.0.14.rc3. There should be a fedora package update for alsa coming out soon, I'm thinking. Takashi Iwai has said on the alsa-devel list that there were many changes between rc3 and the final version of alsa 1.0.14. Perhaps the intel issue is one of the changes. I'm having some obscure alsa development problems and so have been researching this. > > I'll still post to the alsa user list, to see if anyone can throw any > light on the problem. > > Nice to have the sound back isn't it! > > Nigel. > > > >
