    I have a new computer: Compaq Presario SR1200NX. It has an Asus A7V8X-LA
    motherboard with KM400A (northbridge) and VT8237 (southbridge) VIA
    chips. I installed another HD and installed Fedora Core 3 from
    CheapBytes.com cd's on the new HD following the excellent instructions
    at http://mpeters.us/linux/dualboot_grup.php. I have been working my way
    through Stanton Finley's excellent Installation Notes where applicable
    to my system:
    http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_3_installation_notes.html.

    When I put an audio cd in the drive the cd player launches but will not
    play the cd. I updated udev with yum and unmuted the volume controls but
    still no change.

    I can receive audio streams with Real10 and the BBC2 radio player
    launches and works inside of Firefox.

    On the applications menu...system settings...soundcard detection audio
    devices gui reports Vendor: Via, Model: Technologies,Inc.
    VT8233/A/8235/8237 audio controller, Module: snd-via82xx. When I click
    on the play test sound bar I do not hear the sample sound and I get the
    error message "Automatic detection of the sound card did not work. Audio
    will not be available on the system."

    I have been reading e-mails to the Fedora list about non-working cd's
    but I don't see or recognize the report of a similar problem.

    I am not sure what I should send to the list for diagnosis.

    Please let me know what else I should send.

    Thanks in advance.
