Hello Folks, After upgrading to kernel 2.6.8-1.521 from 2.6.6 I have
lost sound. The sound card is recognised as 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R)
AC'97 Audio Controller. Module snd-intel8x0. The test sound plays OK,
the Volume Control has the volume set to high but no sound from the CD
player.

The output of lspci is as follows:

ALSA is installed I believe as there are the following dirs.
/usr/include/alsa /usr/share/alsa but I amnot able to
/etc/init.d/alsa[sound] start. It responds with 'No such file or
directory'

Sound was working just fine until the upgrade to kernel 2.6.8.

Can anybody point me in the right direction please? OS is FC2.

Ta.
