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.
