Description of problem: on initial installation of FC5 from a DVD iso, the system finds the sound device and configures everything. i am able to choose and test sounds for both root and user accounts. on re-boot, and after updating everything through yumex, the sound device is not found, 'alsamixer' returns an error message. see attached log file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): not found How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot 2. login 3. Actual results: no sound response at all. Expected results: same sound settings i had on initial installation. Additional info: device: CS4236B-CSC0000 module: snd-cs4236 'System Tools - Soundcard Detection' shows the above device was successfully detected.

alsamixer error message: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device
can you check "modprobe snd-cs4236"?
oops... it seems that does fix the problem, and i should have thought of trying that first. the only remaining mystery here is why that changed on a simple re-boot. thanks for the suggestion. and now, i'm off to resolve a few more little mysteries.
