    I have issues with alsa and the 2.6.6* series, too.
    In short:
      - under KDE, I have no sound if I boot a 2.6.6* kernel, and any
    application which is sound-related either gives no sound or hang
    completely (must be killed).
      - under Gnome (my default), all system sounds are distorted / changed,
    and I experiment ramdom and _very_ frequent lock ups and freezes.

    All this goes away if I reboot wit the original 2.6.5 FC2 kernel.

    Your problem might or might not be related to this:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125887
    (look there for a couple of references to earlier discussions on this
    topic in fedora-list)

    There's something broken in the 2.6.6* kernels; it affects only a few
    particular hardware configurations (and in different ways). Maybe it's a
    bunch of different problems... who knows.

    Up to now, I haven't found any clue, nor any advice on how to debug this
    in more detail.

    Regards,
