----
service alsasound status
alsasound: unrecognized service
----

Commands mentioned in other email -

 cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [V8237          ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
                      VIA 8237 with ALC655 at 0xee00, irq 18
 1 [Audigy2        ]: Audigy2 - Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350]
                      Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] (rev.4, serial:0x20021102) at
0xe000, irq 19


Obviously there is no alsa service starting?  However, when I do the switch
on Audigy 0 I can here the speakers pop.

when I try to start the alsasound service I get -

----
[root at localhost ~]# service alsasound start
alsasound: unrecognized service
---

I can hear the speakers 'pop' every few seconds.  Not sure what to do.

Here's lsmod for completness -

Please, if it's something I did wrong let me know so I can claw hammer my
skull as much annoyance as this has caused me.  As far as I know it's a
stock FC5 updated to today, 16Jun06.

Thanks.
