Guys,
The sound situation is appalling: since FC6, my sounds stops/starts
working with pretty much _every_ kernel update! Don't worry, the
steady state is that it's not working. It will start working for a
short lived kernel version, but people are diligently working to
fix it back to its non-working state.
Hardware (bog standard):
[root dimi ~]# lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
Software:
Standard FC6, now F7
Symptoms:
system-config-soundcard doesn't recognize the card, it will not even
list it. FC6 was off/on, which the last kernel being on. Then I
updated to F7, goodbye sound! I tried everything, nothing helped.
No errors, logs, etc. Previous kernel somehow worked, it took me
by surprise since I though it will be a cold day in hell before I
see sound working. But I was happy nonetheless. Now the 3228 kernel
fixed it again, its no longer recognized.
What gives?!?
I've been using Linux since 1996, and I can say I've never had a more
frustrating, aggravating, nerve shattering experience. Never before have
I encountered so much flakiness!
