Sound Not working still with Fedora...

[Lane Inman]

Okay;
  I sent this before and got detoured, but it is a very annoying
problem.  Please read the description as each time I post the question,
I get the same answers (none of which have gotten my sound card to
work):

1) soundconfig does not work - it says the card is detected, and when it
"plays" a test sound I get nothing.
2) then gnome-alsa sound mixer does not improve it either
3) the rest of the information is below:

So;
  I dont use KDE; so if this is what fixes it, I should file a bug.
1) lspci
[root lanesdesktop ~]# lspci

2) /etc/sysconfig/hwconf

3) system-config-soundcard runs but does not configure sound
4) yes it is shown in the /etc/asoundstate - do you want me to send the
output
6) lsmod

Find the control for digital/analog conversion.  Turn it off.  My system
with the same card had it turned on (as shown in the kde mixer).

What is the module name for your sound card. example for mine is: 
snd-intel8x0

Once you have that information then go to /etc/hotplug/blacklist add the 
following two lines at the end of the file:

# sound card
snd-intel8x0m (remove my sound card and replace it with yours. note the 
m on the end, please make sure you put that on yours)

Now save that file and reboot the system. This is how I got my sound to 
work. Yes I know its a differnent card, but the symptoms sound the same.

Once you reboot check your sound levels with alsamixer and then test.

It is time for some truths. The actions of the alsa support for sound
has been screwy since FC1. The behavior is hardware dependent. I am
getting sound on a machine where system-config-soundcard says it can
not recognize a soundcard. With FC1 and FC3 the soundcard is
obviously recognized since the appropriate lines are placed in the
modprobe.conf file. FC2 had no lines put in this file so sound does
not work on the machine even if I put the lines in the file by hand.
Anyway to get sound working on under the versions of FC which will
produce sound the process is one of:
1. configuring channels with alamixer
2, setting the volume with the volume control option.
3. If you want the CD-s to play and gnome-cd won't do it and it
does not on this machine use grip and it works.

I have used about 100 different combinations for mixer values... maxing
everything unmuting everything, turning off/on  random switches  Is
there anyone with the old sound drivers for FC3 because alsa is
horrible.
