Hi!

Updated my kernel to 2.6.10-1.8_FC2 using up2date (previous Kernel was
2.6.9-1.11_FC2) and now have no sound. Got error on logging in saying:

"Sound server informational message:
Error while initialising the sound driver
device /dev/dsp cannot be opened (no such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device"

This error hasnt come back since after clicking ok but have had no sound
since.

I tried booting into previous Kernel - samne thing there now!

I checked everything was not muted and pushed all the way up in kmix
,,,,also played around a bit with alsamixer to check settings pushed up
and not muted etc

Ran cat /etc/modprobe.conf and got:

alias eth0 e100
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

lspci gives:

What about running 'alsaconf' from the command prompt?
