Description of problem: I did a clean install of the final release version of FC6 today... sound is no longer working. Using FC4 and FC5, sound did work using the cx88-alsa module; no hardware has been changed. I'm running the current i686 kernel for FC6; I had to manually remove the i586 kernel after install and replace it with the correct i686 kernel. I've tried to modprobe cx88-alsa a few times, and have rebooted several times... surprisingly, I did get sound to work in Totem ONCE only. After rebooting, no more sound again, and 'modprobe cx88-alsa' no longer works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ------ rpm -q alsa-lib -------- alsa-lib-1.0.12-2.fc6 ------- rpm -q alsa-utils -------- alsa-utils-1.0.12-3.fc6 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: scsconfig.log is attached, as the Soundcard Detection tool requests. Please let me know what other info I can provide! Thanks!

One more thing to add... After rebooting again, sound still didn't work. modprobe cx88-alsa still didn't work. ** If I play a flash animation using Adobe Flash 9 Beta, sound DOES work. Only after this happens, sound will continue to work in Totem. Despite both of these things still functioning, I'm still getting most sound events thru the PC speaker. For example, if I hit tab a few times in a bash shell, I get an old PC speaker beep. So something is clearly still not working properly. I have no idea how to explain what Flash 9 is doing.
Sorry - I can't reproduce this. Rebooting, trying modprobe again, and running flash did not restore sound. This must have been a coincidence. I have not found the reason why sound was restored previously (flash doesn't appear to have done anything, which makes more sense).
You have two cards, the first one is: 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) and the second one: 01:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) 01:06.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] (rev 05) 01:06.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05) Which one would you like to use?
The first one would be better... it's the integrated sound card.
Changing version to fc6 from test3.
