Hi
I have a customer who has just brought a ASUS M51S Laptop and has
install Fedora 9 but he has no Sound.
What should we be looking for to fix this
I think the problem is in the distro. I have never gotten sound working
on Fedora 9 on anything I've tried it on. Some of the daemons seem to
be generating a "connection refused" message but I have no idea what
it's trying to connect to or how or on what port. All of the
permissions appear to be OK and things like the new network audio server
appears to be running (but possibly not set up correctly by default).
I've rolled back to CentOS 5.2 on the systems I need sound working on,
and I'm hoping that the Fedora team fix what's going on shortly.

I also had problems with sound on fedora 9 which I partially resolved by
at least enabling sound for mplayer by changing the permissions for
/dev/dsp to allow anyone to use the device: chmod 666 /dev/dsp. I put
this command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that it changes the permissions on
each boot. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Please note the correction.
