Description of problem: Sound Card Configure found the proper sound card, but also found an extra sound card not in the system. Only the VIA sound drivers worked and test sound was fine. So I think sound card detection needs a bit of work. The extra sound card had a nonsensical name as well, started with a P and was mostly numbers, maybe one other character, probably 8 chars wide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc6 test 2 DVD iso version How reproducible: Only installed once, so haven't tried to reproduce this problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: 2 sound cards found Expected results: Just VIA sound card to be found in my box. Additional info: System AMD 64 bit Athlon 2400 200 GB SATA hard drive 512 MB Ram Memory Gigabit ethernet USB - printer HP PSC 1210 6600 GT Nvidia Video Card ( I don't often install NVIDIA's drivers, if I'm not doing something that needs the extra performance. ) 17" Samsung monitor synmaster 750s On board VIA sound ASUS A8V-E Deluxe Motherboard. The monitor,keyboard, and mouse, are shared with another computer via a KVM. This information came from my post on fedoraforum.org title: FC6 Test 2 i386 observations
Please attach /root/scsconfig.log file.
Created attachment 133960 [details] sound card config log In this log, it was the isa PNP audio interface that showed up as another sound card in the window.

It's the mpu401 device, It isn't a bug.
Thanks for the information. Is the mpu401 device just a subfunction of the VIA card for sound input from keyboards? I used to think it was, but I know little about sound cards, and MIDI, I just want some basic sound to play, which the sound card configuration gets working fine (thanks). But if the MPU is just a function of the VIA built in soundcard, I would suggest having its MPU be configured on the VIA tab. If other OSes configure the two as seperate devices though, then I Fedora should follow the defacto standard in the area, and keep them as seperate sound cards.
I'm not sure whether I can change it, s-c-soundcard just uses informations which come from kernel. The MPU-401 is a generic MIDI I/O interface for PC and can be used for sound input from keyboards, so this may be your case.
