I lost my audio during some update approximately one month ago. I simply have not played music on my pc since. The only entry I have in multimedia system setting is HDA Intel (ALC888 Analog) I am unable to get sound from that entry. I have reinstall fedora 12 and I have not discovered where the problem is.
If anyone has experience with this problem -- could you please let me know.
I had a similar problem with ALC262, could you be hitting this one? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541723 It seems something more depending on alsa or hw recognition than pulseaudio though
