Many thanks, Dmitry. I see you are well familiar with this issue.

When I try "alsactl power", I get "alsactl: Unknown command 'power'..." so I
don't think that will work for me.

I'd also like this to work for anyone who wants to install Fedora on their
600X. It was a very popular machine in its day, so there are a lot of them
out there.

How can I help make this easier for those folks? (and of course, I will
probably install Fedora on them myself quite a few more times)

And once again, is there a bug in the sound driver that needs to be crushed?

Chris
