https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/fedora-sound-compatibility/m-p/4082054#M30291 I have been using fedora 3 on a hp pavilion 4535. It doesn't have a real sound card and no third party sound driver is available for the chipset.<BR />Now I am considering getting one of these systems and put Fedora 7 on it. Would I encounter the same problem?<BR /><BR />HP HP Pavilion a6120n<BR />Compaq Compaq sr5152nx<BR />HP HP Pavilion a6220n <BR />HP HP Pavilion a6200n<BR />Compaq Compaq Presario sr5262nx<BR /><BR /><BR />Thanks<BR /><BR />cch Fri, 05 Oct 2007 12:57:00 GMT check hung 2007-10-05T12:57:00Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/fedora-sound-compatibility/m-p/4082054#M30291 I have been using fedora 3 on a hp pavilion 4535.

For example, the first unit on your list has a Realtek High Definition chip in it that has common support for it available in Linux. How do I know? Check the tech support link and download drivers, even though these are Windows drivers, the sound one is clearly labeled for Realtek.
