I already had a 'rpm -qa | sort > rpms.list.f9' that I could have looked at... In any case, I removed all the modules I found in the above list, rebooted, and as ME, I have no audio in either aplay nor firefox. Doing a su and trying again, I have audio both places, so it seems that there is still a permission problem somewhere. Here is the output from aplay [reg@deneb AU]$ aplay wheee.au --- ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such fi le or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2184:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:583: audio open error: No such file or directory --- Any further thoughts??? If I could get some sound working, I could move to f9. -- Reg.Clemens reg@xxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
