yes I saw that thread when trying to help someone on the alsa-user list that 
has a problem with sound using a Acer Aspire 5720 notebook. I see that you 
got sound fixed with Fedora 7, and Fedora8 with this notebook.

I found the instructions a bit difficult to follow, but I bookmarked the page, 
and will check it out again.

Thanks for the reply.
