FC2 test 1 / kernel 2.6.4-1.290 sound not working (snd-maestro3)

[Cam]

Hi,

I have some strange problems with sound which worked on FC1 and 2.4 
kernel but hasn't been well under FC2 test 1 and 2.6 kernel.

The module does not load automatically and I have to issue

# modprobe snd-maestro3

manually before any sound is used.

Then the volume levels appear to be set to 0, the mixer can be used to 
raise them but the values are not remembered after a reboot. The volume 
control 2.5.7 panel applet tries to raise the volume but after any 
changes the slider is set back to zero (even if the mixer has been 
turned up.

What have I missed in upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6 to make the sound work 
smoothly?

PS I have /etc/modules.conf which does include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist, 
then defines alias sound-slot-0 snd-maestro3.
There is also a line:

install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { 
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 
2>&1 || :; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound-slot-0
