Thanks for the offer of help. I'm going to do a fresh install today, and will get back to you tomorrow with all the details of my problem (I want to make some notes as I go so that I don't misstate anything). I do have a couple of quick questions about your setup if you get a chance..
Are you running Fedora 4? What kernel are you using? What version of the alsa-lib rpm do you have installed? What motherboard do you have -- is it NV4 based with CK804 (alsamixer will tell you if it is a CK804)?
