[PlanetCCRMA] snd-intel8x0 loaded WITH sound on FC3...fixed

[Pierre Proske]

I finally fixed my sound...after finding some info from archives of the 
Linux Kernel Mailing List


All I had to do was:

> Turn off 'Headphone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense' mixer switches 
> if they are on.

The 'Headphone Jack Sense' is left on by default when I run alsamixer. 
Thinking it harmless, I left it on....

The bug is listed at:

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=852


more details about it:

I'm now enjoying all manner of linux sound!
