Hello,<br><br>I have Fedora Core 6 installed in my laptop, which is a Packard Bell EasyNote A8750.<br>Sound card: Intel ICH6 AC&#39;97 audio controller<br>Kernel version: 2.6.19-1.2911<br>ALSA drivers version: 1.0.13-32<br>
<br>Sound card is not working.&nbsp; When I change the master volume I only get a cracking sound, but nothing else.&nbsp; &quot;External amplifier&quot; switch in volume control has been unchecked.<br><br>Output of lspci command:<br>
