hey guys my sound on FC5 has been working ok since ive installed FC5. There were a few times when sound would stop and I'd have to reboot, but now sound has completely stopped working and I didnt do anything to my laptop. Could someone take a look at my sound log and/or give me some advice on how I can get my sound back.

Thanks,
nomb

Well similar problm came in my system too, i installd SoundMax after that the problem has resolved
u try and search it on net..

if it dont work then try some alsa stuff

not sure what im suppose to do with soundmax, all I found was chips for motherboards they make.

got any other ideas?

I wish FC5 had the alsaconf program that is in suse, that alwasys worked like a charm...

nomb

I want to restart the sound module. It is loading fine i just don't have sound so im thinking i should try to restart after fc5 loads. how can i do that? when i try to unload it, it says modual in use. Any ideas?

thanks nomb

well ur motherboard must be intel one right.. so i dont think u need to worry thn.. well u write me ur email id i ll mail u the soundmax drivers...

anothr thing regarding modules.. well u will find all the services n routine whch are loaded at startup are in
/etc/init.d directory but m nt sure thr is any service regarding the sound card...

well u can configure ur sound card file too
its at location
/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/
in this directory u will find all the configuration files for sound card...

well thts my lil knwledge ....
