I have a C-Media AC97 onboard soundcard and once again the sound has stopped working.
After the installation of Fedora Core 2 it works somewhat okay for a couple of days but after
a few reboots the sound just stops working (and YES my audio cable is plugged in).

My modprobe.conf file:

alias eth0 tg3
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
alias snd-card-1 audio
install audio /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install audio && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove audio { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove audio
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias char-major-195* nvidia

---------

I tried changing the file to:

alias eth0 tg3
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias snd-card-1 audio
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias char-major-195* nvidia

------------

and the audio stopped working, and even though i have changed it back to its original state
the audio still doesnt work. Any ideas on whats wrong?

Could it be simply that the volume settings have been muted or are just set very very low? It's definitely something to check -- J.W.

Ofcourse ive checked that, and btw when the sound works i cant change the volume.
