The changelog doesn't indicate anything about sound issues, just security fixes. Its unlikely that anything but security fixes are being tracked anymore. I don't have any CentOS6 systems left to test it on. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

The ESR point releases coincide with the rapid release major releases, although the ESR point releases are just for security bug fixes (occasionally contains other non-security bug fixes), whereas the rapid release new major versions may have new features, security and bug fixes plus other enhancements added etc Therefore the ESR release is more stable over a longer period - and so best suited for 'Enterprise' use The current ESR version is 78.4.0 - with 78.5.0 coming in November and 78.6.0 in December - so I'm guessing Red Hat might release 78.5.0 before EL6 reaches EOL at the end of November ? I have no idea if the latest 78.4.0 release from Red Hat will fix the sound issues on EL6 James Pearson
