Modern technologies, including udev and the HAL, have made certain sound cards work out of the box. Any sound card not working out of the box should be reported as a <ulink url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/">bug</ulink>. Preferences can still be fine-tuned within the desktop environment, using, among others, the PulseAudio tools.

+		  The <package>pilot-link</package> package now blacklists the <computeroutput>visor</computeroutput> module by default. Users are encouraged to try the direct USB access present in recent versions of <package>pilot-link</package>. This is enabled by passing the <option>--port usb:</option> option to the various <package>pilot-link</package> tools, instead of the serial devices used in the past (typically <filename>/dev/pilot</filename> or <filename>/dev/ttyUSB0</filename>, <filename>/dev/ttyUSB1</filename>, and so forth). For example:

+		   The <package>hal-info</package> and <package>hal</package> packages have been updated to correctly set permissions for the necessary USB devices using PolicyKit. If you have any existing manual configurations, revert the changes to avoid possible conflicts.
