When I left for work yesterday, sound was working. When I came home audio in vlc had stopped working, and (interestingly) system-config-soundcard wasn't working either. lsof on /dev/snd/* showed firefox using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p (even though it was not playing any audio or video). Quitting firefox and killing pulseaudio got vlc working again. So my problem seems to be that firefox wants to take direct control of the sound devices, even to the point of stopping system-config-soundcard. Is it possible to configure Firefox to talk to pulseaudio? But my problem is perhaps the motharboard Intel audio. What would people recommend as a cheap sound card that will work reliably with Fedora? (I think I have a spare PCI-E slot.)
