Description of problem: Fedora Core 5 is not properly configuring my soundcard. I have a new HP Small Form Factor Desktop (dc7600) which uses the Intel 945G motherboard with integrated Realtek ALC260 sound chip. Running Sytem -> Administration -> Soundcard Detection, brings up the Audio Devices screen. This shows: Vendor: Intel Model: Corporation 82801G (IHC7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller Module: snd-hda-intel Default PCM device: ALC260 Analog Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.16-2 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. system-config-soundcard (or using grapgical menus as above) 2. 3. Actual results: no sound heard Expected results: able to hear sample sound Additional info:

Could you please check this how-to? http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/
Sorry for the delay in following this up. I have run through your alsa how-to page and was unsuccessful. I have attached an output file which indicates some problem encountered during the 'make' command. When I now run system-config-soundcard the details show the same vendor, model and driver but there is no Default PCM Device....

I have since updated my kernel to 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5-i686 and updated all the alsa packages to the latest stable versions found by yum (1.0.11rc4) and now get the following error in make...

okay, I updated my ALSA page so could you please check the latest ALSA driver package from my site? (http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/, package alsa-driver-1.0.12rc1)
Thanks Martin! That new alsa tar ball compiled a treat and worked first time!
