Hello all. I was able to get Fedora 11 installed on my 2100 after using liveusb-creator to create a usb install disk, no sweat. Everything works out of the box! Except the microphone.

I have tried the realtek-linux-audiopack-5.12 alsa drivers from the realtek website, but I still have the same results, nothing recorded from the built-in mic.

I did the following:
# tar xjvf LinuxPkg_5.12.tar.bz2
# cd realtek-linux-audiopack-5.12
# tar xjvf alsa-driver-1.0.20-5.12rc4.tar.bz2
# cd alsa-driver-1.0.20-5.12
# yum install gcc kernel-devel patch
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

and added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-272
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss


I reboot, adjust the levels with alsamixer. I get good sound, but still no mic. Any suggestions? Maybe I should open a bugzilla ticket?

Thanks.

I was able to download the 5.11 version of the audio drivers. I now have a microphone! The built-in mic works. Everything works. Fedora 11 FTW. Now to file a bug report so that the mic will work out of the box with future versions. You can read about the install process on my blog. Cheers.
