Hello, Chad.  Thanks for taking a shot at it!

I tried all kinds of variations of settings in "alsamixer" (SiS SI7012) 
and "alsamixer -c 1" (Brooktree Bt878) in _both_ systems.  In FC4, I was 
never able to disable sound, and in FC5 I was never able to enable it. 
I played both with [Playback] and with [Capture settings] for both cards 
on both systems.

One thing interesting alsamixer told me, though...  When I hit "/" in 
FC5, it tells me that SIS7012 is running on irq 177, and Bt878 is 
running on irq 169.  When I do the same on FC4, SIS7012 is on irq 5, and 
Bt878 is on irq 11.  Is there really a such thing as an irq 169???

Thanks again,

Dave
