We are considering adding ALSA 1.0.15 to the Fedora 8 release. This would get us up-to-date with the latest audio drivers and fix many problems with audio drivers not working, or only partially working. Test kernels for i686 and x86_64 are available at: http://people.redhat.com/cebbert/kernels/F8/ Also, kernel 2.6.23.1-36 has the update and is now building. It would be very helpful if people would test these kernels and reply to this message with their experiences, so we can see if this update causes any problems.

I've booted the ALSA kernel 4 more times and skype has worked after each reboot. I know I did see a skype problem the first time I booted with the ALSA kernel, but it perhaps had nothing to do with the kernel. The only problem I've seen since then is the soundcard detection fails to play the test sound sometimes, but this was true with the old kernel too.

The 1.0.15 stuff works just fine on my Rawhide machine, using the hda-intel kernel driver and the built-in sound capabilities of my DG965WH motherboard: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Tested with playback through Rhythmbox and watching a couple of movies through mplayer.

Thanks.
