Your drivers are at 1.0.18, and as someone else said there was a lot

work done on hda-intel from 1.0.18 to 1.0.20. You need to update the
driver package as described earlier in the thread.
Thanks for your help!
I pulled the 1.0.20 alsa RPMs out of testing and rebooted. That didn't
help immediately, but once I removed pulseaudio everything seems
to be working (Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is playing as I type).
However, the fact that it was working in F10 means that there is
probably a model that alsa is able to discover that works for this
chip, even though not designed explicitly for it. And in fact there is
mention of the chip in the code in relation to asus-p5q. Perhaps the
documentation just hasn't caught up to the code yet.
Yes, I have an Asus P5Q-VM motherboard. I didn't think this was that
new -- must be at least a year old now? -- but I guess if the sound
chipsets are changing all the time that's a problem.
I found this overview of sound in Linux (from Slashdot):
http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2009/06/state-of-sound-in-linux-not-so-s...
so I have a better idea what's happening under the hood now.
And this really should not exist in asound.conf. Better that you
copy
it to .asoundrc in your home directory and remove the /etc/asound.conf
file. Then the system default will be the alsa default hw:0,0 and you
will use whatever you set in your .asoundrc when you log in.
Ok, that sounds sensible. I've saved your message for future reference!
