hi, clean install fc3t2 (re1115.0) - powerbook g4 sound does not work. no sound module is loaded gnome-volume-control|manager does not work system-config-soundcard recognize no soundcard hwbrowser and kudzu know the module -------- # grep -4 snd_powermac /etc/sysconfig/hwconf - class: AUDIO bus: MACIO detached: 0 driver: snd_powermac desc: "Apple Computer Inc.|PowerMac Sound" - class: CDROM bus: IDE ----/---- # echo "modprobe snd_powermac" >> /etc/rc.local reboot, check the settings and all is ok known bug ? which package ? # uname -r ; rpm -q initscripts hal udev kudzu system-config-soundcard 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 initscripts-7.93.5-1 hal-0.4.0-10 udev-039-10.FC3.6 kudzu-1.1.95-1 system-config-soundcard-1.2.10-1

On my Powerbook G4 Ti 867MHz, sound worked after I added the following to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias snd-card-0 dmasound_pmac install dmasound_pmac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install dmasound_pmac && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove dmasound_pmac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove dmasound_pmac

I've no idea what's the difference between dmasound_pmac and snd_powermac (but I'm sure I'll have after some googling) and I didn't try the other. /etc/sysconfig/hwconf says snd_powermac for me too (but I didn't know about that file before you mentioned it).
