Description of problem: After I did up2date few days ago, Video and Sound was disabled.

So how can I fix this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I fixed problem by re installing ALSA package(driver, library, tools). then sounds working normal. maybe next RHEL update I have to do the same thing again.
Has the update of alsa-lib and alsa-lib fixed your problem? Or did you completely reinstall these packages?
I updated all three which include driver, libray and tools. now I have sound back. wiered thing is I couldn't find any change on configuration file. but volume controller got changed. it only contains 3; master, capture and input mix. but I had IE856(<-- not sure what it was) but there was something in between master and input mix.
It's not a bug, volume controls are set by card driver.
