Sounds like you have an extra audio device (usb?) and that
it's got
modprobed first. You need something in modprobe.conf (or a
file in
/etc/modprobe.d) but I can't remember the exact
incantation. Luckily
someone posted exactly what you need to one of the Fedora
lists in the
last week ... something like:
alias snd-slot-0 $driver
options $driver index=0
alias snd-slot-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1
This only works when there's only one usb device,
though, by the looks of it :-/
I suspect what's really needed is more control over the
order they're probed.
I do not have usb sound :(

Sound was working previously since Fedora 6 or Fedora 5 Test series, but recent updates
and/or pulseaudio have wrecked it :(
Thanks,
