I am running Fc16. I have been afraid to upgrade due to the limited

my mouse.
Thanks. I can send config files etc. if they would be helpful. I just
cannot understand how firefox is using the audio when pulseaudio is
gone. Do you think it is attaching the device directly.
Your config files may help somebody, but not me. Knowing that you're
using F16, before systemd, tells me not to tell you how to restart
pulseaudio via systemctl. And, just to make sure, what DE are you
using, because any GUI assistance might be DE-specific.
Last, have you tried running either F19 or F20 from a LiveCD/USB to see
what happens? You might find out that your card's better supported than
you thought, and it will help make sure that your sound issues are or
aren't hardware related.
