Something has happened to sound from my system after this update.  I'm
guessing it's related to one of the two packages above but could be
wrong.

Sound yesterday was nice and clear, but since the update it is garbled
and staticky (???).  YOu can still here the sound (or music) but it's
like someone's maxing out the volume and the speakers are all distorted.
Volume levels on everything are the same as before the update and
changing (lowering) them doesn't seem to help.

I'm going to try yesterdays kernel and down-grading alsa, but thought it
worth mentioning this before doing either (so it's documented as I go).

Is anyone else seeing this?

Packages that might be related:

kernel-2.6.11-1.1275_FC4
alsa-utils-1.0.9rc2-1
alsa-lib-1.0.9rc2-1
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.9rc2-1
