If your using KDE, removing that package will also remove the kde-settings-pulseaudio package. You can always reinstall them later, but IIRC Pulseaudio has problems with multiple cards, but I may be wrong there. Can you post the output from a few commands, as below. cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/version grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec* /sbin/lsmod | grep snd If you leave Pulseaudio enabled, alsamixer only shows a single control, but you can get to the controls for the individual cards (presuming they all show up in /proc/asound/cards), by opening alsamixer on the CLI, as below. alsamixer -D hw:0 (that's for card0) alsamixer -D hw:1 (for card1, and so on) You may need to set a model option for the onboard card in /etc/modprobe.conf, to get the necessary mixer controls to show up in alsamixer, or sometimes a model option is necessary just to get the card detected. Post back the stuff requested above first, as we need to know the codec that the hda intel card uses, so as to know which model options to try. My Asus M2N-X Plus board has sound working out of the box, but to get a CD slider showing in alsamixer, I have to set a model option as below. options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig (just an example) I do have Fedora 8 on the machine with this mobo. All the best.
