[Alsa-user] ALSA on FC6
I'm running FC6 on an i686 machine with a Creative Labs Audigy sound card. The speakers worked fine with the basic system. The ALSA Mixer showed information related to the sound card. The ALSA version shows as 1.0.12-2.fc6. Then I wanted to add a USB Logitech microphone. I could not get that to work with the basic system. On Linux Questions, someone suggested that I needed to be running ALSA 1.0.14. I downloaded the files and did ./configure make make install (as root) Everything looked great until I brought up the mixer. Now, all I can see is the USB mic. The sound no longer works on the speakers. Basically, the entire system is whacked. I'd like to know how to either get the sound card AND the USB microphone working or how to get back to where I could at least use my sound card. Thanks. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Alsa-user] ALSA on FC6
if you installed new drivers, you changed kernel modules that fedora installed through the kernel package itself. So, at least, to come back to your old version you can pick up the kernel you are using, or better if this is not the latest you can pick up the latest one kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 and install it. If you have not the latest one installed, upgrade it besides the old one, downloading it or upgrading via yum. Otherwise if you already had the latest one, you have to download the rpm and run rpm -Uvh --force kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.i686.rpm and this will replace your modified /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/kernel/sound/pci/ca0106/snd-ca0106.ko file or whatever driver is for your card with the original fc6 one probably before doing this you can remove the alsa related modules and after do a depmod -a and you can have modifications without reboot.
