You didn't say which model you have. On some models, there is no way to get built-in sound working properly. If you do get some kind of sound, follow these steps to get sound working under YDL4: 1) Do a "yum update" as root to update EVERYTHING, not just the kernel. In particular, you should update kudzu and everything KDE. 2) Make sure /etc/yaboot.conf points to the new (2.6.10) kernel and initrd. 3) Regardless of step 2, issue a "ybin -v" coomand as root. 4) Regardless of steps 2 and 3, reboot. 5) Make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf file is correct. If it contains any references to "dmasound_pmac" in it, it is not correct. You must in that case manually edit the file so that the lines below the eth0/sungem/airport/ohci/ieee1394 stuff (if any) match the following: http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2004-December/017228.html 6) In the KDE Control Center, tell the sound server to use OSS instead of ALSA. Do not use Autodetect. 7) Reboot again.
