Google will give you some of the others. weirdly, my sound just returned. and, no, i didn't reconfigure or reboot or even tweak any alsa settings. it's a mystery, but maybe it's a sign that i should dig into understanding the whole sound system more thoroughly. rday p.s. beyond the docs at alsa-project.org, is there a more fedora-centric tutorial on sound? i just like to collect these HOWTOs. thanks. ======================================================================== Robert P.
