I just upgraded from FC1 to FC2. After the upgrade, my Soyo Dragon KT-400 Ultra on-board sound isn't functioning--that is, no sound (XMMS says "couldn't open audio"). C-Media is the sound vendor. Hardware Browser reports a CM8738 using driver snd-cmipci.

/etc/modprobe.conf reports:

alias eth0 via-rhine
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias snd-card-0 cmpci
alias char-major-195-* nvidia
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
:; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove sound-slot-0

Can anyone shed some light on how I can get my sound working again?

Thanks in advance!

Some additional info... Running system-config-soundcard produces the following results:

amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device
-9

Anyone know how I can fix this?

What does cat /proc/asound/cards give you?

cat /proc/asound/cards says:

--- no soundcards ---

Ok, I fixed my sound problem! What I did:

1) removed the entire "class: AUDIO" section from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.
2) ran kudzu from the command line as root--kudzu found new soud hardware; I selected 'configure', let kudzu finish, then rebooted to working sound.
