Description of problem: I have a HP pavilion notebook (dv1680ca). This notebook uses the snd_hda_intel driver module. It fails not to mention the recording never worked. I had to go to alsa-project.org to get the latest stable release. The updates in fedora are 1.0.14-rc3, but if you goto alsa-project.org then they have 1.0.14 released already for the last 2 months. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The alsa driver should be updated as well. The kernel drivers for the sound need to be updated to 1.0.14 release and not rc3. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sound recording doesn't work (period) 2. Sound playing works most of the time. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I fixed it by going to alsa-project.org and getting the alsa-driver-1.0.14.tar.bz2 and compiling it, and install the drivers (modules).
Don't worry. 1.0.14 will be in Fedora 7 some day. But we use the upstream (vanila) kernels so it has to go there first. But it definitely will be here.
