Yes, you can go here, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=glob&type=package&terms=*firmware* and find the firmware package you want to downgrade, here is an example, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=29969 and then select the package you want to downgrade to. Once you have downloaded it to your system, in the directory where it is saved, run dnf -C downgrade [firmware package name] This will downgrade the package. However, I am not familiar with the program that installs the firmware, and I don't know if it will allow an earlier firmware to install over a later firmware. It should, but I'm not sure. I think it will take a reboot for the downgraded firmware to be used by the kernel. If it works to restore your sound, you should do two things. 1. Edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, or the equivalent on gnome package manager, and put a line with excludepkgs=[name of your firmware package] so it isn't updated again. 2. Open a bugzilla at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ against the firmware package about the problem so knowledge that the problem exists gets to someone who can fix it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
