Add the line above, which keeps all the sonicvibes stuff together

Hi David. Your modprobe.conf needs a bit of attention as above.
I don't think the "remove" and "install" lines are needed any more with Fedora
7, at least on my Fedora 7 they don't exist. On earlier versions of FC they
do. Anyway. Leave the remove, and install lines as they are at the moment.
They are both commented out with a # at the start of the lines, so will be
ignored. Leave the remove line for the sonicvibes as it is. It's uncommented,
but that should be ok.
Make the changes to /etc/modprobe.conf as root in a text editor, save the
changes, and reboot the machine.
cat /proc/asound/cards should now show both cards. The sonicvibes as card0,
and the intel one as card1.
Open alsamixer on the CLI (Konsole) as user, and check the mixer settings,
unmuting, pushing up sliders as necessary, see if you can get some sound out
of the card.
To access alsamixer for the intel card, start alsamixer as.
alsamixer -c 1
Now you may have to remove or rename /etc/alsa/asound.state, which is the file
where the mixer settings are saved to. When you reboot it will be recreated.
Try a reboot first though, without touching this file.
You can save, and restore your mixer settings to this file with the following
commands run as root.
/usr/sbin/alsactl store
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
See how you get on, and post back please.
All the best.
Nigel.
