From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) The sound is initialized but plays back at rapid speed when the sound test is initialized. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a COMPAQ DP EN-866 or better and use the onboard sound 2.Install Wolverine (or fisher or 7.0 for that matter) 3.Run sndconfig and listen... Actual Results: Sounds is oversampling Expected Results: Sound should sound right This is also a problem present when OSS is installed.
What driver/chip is that using? (If you don't know, post the output of 'lspci'.)

This should be fixed better in the rawhide kernel; it's a driver issue.
Is rawhide the followup to Wolverine?
Rawhide is a rolling, updated snapshot of our development tree. ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/
Should I grab some packages from rawhide to fix this problem or not?
The kernel in rawhide should work better for this sound chip.
This kernel still does not fix the problem. Just an FYI, I'm not too worried about the sound. It does detect the sound card and I can hear the sample being played but, it still sounds like the munchkins from The Wizard of OZ.
If this still happens with 7.1 then it isn't a driver bug, it's a hardware limitation. Additionally, with the final 7.1 product, even if it doesn't sound right when running the simple sound test, things like xmms should sound OK when playing music (the program that plays the simple sound test during sound card configuration doesn't know how to upsample the sound from 8kHz to the required speed, so it sounds off, but it is the sox program's responsibility to upsample sounds when the driver doesn't support the request speed/sample size, which is the case with your machine).
