alsaconf in FC4

[Amichai Rotman]

I have a similar problem.

My aoundcard is SIS chipset - system-config-sound will not detect it,
and eved freezes while detacting...

One idea that comes to mind - run a LiveCD like Knoppix and check the
/etc/modules.conf to see which mosule it loads for sound. Then edit
the modules.conf file manually. Don't forget to check if you have the
module present....

Hope that helps,
