Hell again --
I finally fixed my no sound with no firmware issue for my built-in Intel
controlled speakers. I'm running on Stream 8 now. DNF was NOT picking up
the two alsa packs I needed from --
http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/ (just
a random mirror)
But there they were...
alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm
<http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm>
and
alsa-sof-firmware-debug-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm
<http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/alsa-sof-firmware-debug-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm>
So I downloaded the rpms and installed with dnf using
dnf --allowerasing install (path to
rpm)/alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm
<http://mirror.datto.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/alsa-sof-firmware-1.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm>
etc...
This kept my existing alsa main in tact and just added the firmware files.
Now on to other issues -- playing .wav files without benefit of GUI.
