I have installed FC5 from DVD, all went fine. It detected my  
soundcard, fine, rebooted, and now it only finds my modem as a sound  
device, and my soundcard has gone.

Used the soundcard detection thing, finds the card, play a sample,  
and it doesn't work. Looks like /dev/dsp is missing. /dev/dsp1 is  
there, however thats for my modem.

I'm fed up with cr*ppy ATI laptop chipsets. They are the McDonalds of  
the IT industry.
