have moved to f15 and 
at startup screen gets corrupted when fedora logo fills up to prox. 75%

after the corrupted startup logo the login prompt is working fine only with some audio glitches

startup worked fine in f11 also

Comment 3 Tim Jackson 2011-07-31 18:46:11 UTC
Sorry but this doesn't sound like a problem with alsa-firmware.
alsa-firmware contains firmware drivers for a very small number of specialist 
sound cards only.

Please be aware that problems with sound can be caused by many different
software components within a Fedora system (including ALSA kernel modules,
PulseAudio, desktop volume controls, individual applications and more) and
you may find it easier to get some informal help to track down the problem 
before filing bugs (if necessary), so that you can file them against the 
right component and the appropriate person can help.

Help resources are listed here:

If you still believe that your problem is with alsa-[tools|firmware], please re-open this bug with further details. Alternatively, if you identify the software causing the problem, you could change the Component accordingly and re-open it.
