i am new to fedora.so please correct me if i have said something incorrect. After going through the thread, i noticed the version of fedora the op is running ,there are quite a bit of modules mentioned in /etc/modprobe.conf. But i have run fedora 10 and fedora 11 and in both cases the /etc/modprobe.conf file is empty. but my lan card and sound functions perfectly with the exception of removing pulseaudio. Now i used to remember when i was running fedora 7 or fedora 8 the modules for the lan card and soundcard were mentioned in /etc/modprobe.conf.so i think /etc/modprobe.conf may be obsolete in fedora now. now the shot in the dark- if the OP runs the fedora 11 and removes pulseaudio, the sound may work as it will contain the latest stable alsa. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
