Hi Aaron. I got rid of pulseaudio on F8, as soon as I found sound was not
working. The first thing I normally try is an audio cd. A complaint about
some pulseaudio problem got me to ask a quick question to the list, and got
me an answer to remove "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio". Sound now worked ok, as per
the pre pulseaudio era.
I must say that I didn't try alsamixer, so don't know if it was available or
not.
Marc has still not verified that the "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" package is not
installed, and that is the package that disables pulseaudio, and which is
responsible for creating many problems when enabled.
btw Aaron. I had a reply from the alsa-devel list regarding your snd-cs4236
problems. I don't think it's much help, but will post the reply to the thread
that was running.
Nigel.
