Thanks for detailing your process, but I can't help but notice its for a
VM instead of an actual installation like I am running. Does anyone
have tips for a non VM installation ?
Why did you have to download the oss driver from a non Fedora location ?
What is Fedora expecting us to use and what do we need to do to get it
working ?
Thanks
I had no sound until I found the tip to run alsamixer -c0 and make sure
the appropriate levels were maxed, then PA was fine.
