First, I have sound on another OQO running Centos 5.2 (ALSA 1.0.14 I
believe).

Now here is some forensics:

OOPS!!!! Why no sound card?

Hi Robert.

What exactly is an OQO?

www.oqo.com

I have the model 2 without the touchscreen or WiMax.

No sound card, means just that. the soundcard can't be detected.

You may find that the snd modules are loaded. Try the command as below,
and post back the output.
/sbin/lsmod | grep snd

Which make/model of Laptop/PC is this? The OQO bit is a bit confusing.

I have 4 of these to be a portable test/demo bed. 3 of them have Centos
5.2 on them. One has F10. Interesting comparison of what works for
Centos and what with F10. Sound is one of the items working fine with
the Centos installs.

You could download the script from the link below, save it as
alsa-info.sh, make it executable, then run it as ./alsa-info.sh.
Running this script will upload info about your machine, and
specifically sound related stuff to a website. Post back the link to
the site, and I, and hopefully others can examine your problem.

Sound not working on F10. See link to alsa-info.sh output below.

Hi Robert.

Would you please run the alsa-info.sh script on one of your Centos 5.2
machines, where the sound is working ok. Don't trim anything on your
reply, but just add the new link, identifying it as, "Sound working with
Centos 5.2. See link to alsa-info.sh output below".

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5d592ffd6dd37b033a165c4c4701651b84d76155

Thank you for your help on this.

Hi Robert.

Thanks for the link above, showing the Centos setup.

Was Fedora 10 a fresh install, or did you upgrade from an earlier version of Fedora.

I notice that alsa-driver is version 1.0.17, but you have alsa lib 1.0.18rc3, and alsa-utils 1.0.18. I don't yet have F10 installed to compare, but did you upgrade the alsa libs, and alsa utils?

You could disable pulseaudio, with a yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio. I don't think it will change anything regarding the card being detected, but it's worth a reboot after removing that package just to see.

Also open a terminal, su to root and run, tail -f /var/log/messages, then open another terminal, and su to root, and run the following commands.

modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel

See for any messages, and if modprobe snd-hda-intel complains.

Will get to this in a bit.

I can't think of anything else at the mo.

Nigel.
