I have just installed Fedora Core-2 on my Powerbook G4, but I can't get sound to work. For the install, I followed the helpful instructions at: http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html http://lists.ydl.net/pipermail/fedora-ppc/2004-September/000180.html , installed http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorappc/FC2 , and got sleep to work using ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/people/dwmw2/fc2-mac/RPMS/pmud-0.10-1.1.ppc.rpm However, I can't get sound to work. The startup messages look like:

Does anyone know how to get sound to work? I noticed that Colin Charles on his 12/9/2004 blog says he got it working, but doesn't give details.

I use alsa:
in /etc/modprobe.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-powermac install snd-powermac /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-powermac && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-powermac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-powermac
Note you'll have to unmute things when you've loaded the modules for the first time, use alsamixer for this.
