nothing sinister here.... was not getting HDMI sound on my motherboard, did some searching seemed like I needed to update to alsa 1.0.19 so I tried it. compiling from source. Ran into compile errors so I wanted to backout to the default alsa. the default alsa worked but just not over HDMI .

So I wish to re-install the default alsa 1.0.17 rpm's. Either through yum or rpm. preferably through yum. as its easier.

I haven't tried this with something that has drivers but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work

rpm -UVh --oldpackage <package name(s)>

I've done it tons of times for various packages over the past year or so.
