I installed Fedora 2 with no problem.

The following problem happens when using kernels: 2.6.6-1.427, 2.6.6-1.435, 2.6.6-1.435.2.1 and 2.6.6-1.435.2.3.

I noticed that if I keep using the original kernel 2.6.5-1.358, it does not happen.

The problem is that some sound notifications (examples: KDE/Gnome starting, GAIM sound events) get very weird, being repeated several times like an echo (not fading out) and eventually stops.

I can play music thru CDs or MP3s with no problem at all.

After shutting down the computer, I get the following line:
Saving mixer settings ac97 codec read TIMEOUT [05xa/0x80c05a]!!

How can I fix this sound issue in order to use the latest kernel version?

Thanks,

Domecq
