Hi all,

Basically I have no sound on my fedora 11 box. So I'm hoping someone can
help me with this. I have attached some files that may be helpful in
locating the problem. Any help appreciated.

kernel - 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64

Cheers

What he should have said was "un-mute". However, you use 'alsamixer' to
do that. If you see an 'MM' on a volume slider, it's muted, and press
the 'M' key to unmute it. Press ESC to exit alsamixer. Then run
"alsactl store" to save the settings. Do all this as root.

I think with F11, he should be using pavucontrol.

Make sure pulseaudio is running in the background.

If you are not running KDE or Gnome you may have additional
issues. Under Fvwm2 I find I need to run:

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/dsp
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/snd/*

I'm still on F10.

For diagnostics, run an audio app from the command line and
see if you get error messages.

pavucontrol is not included with F11 by default. During testing,
pavucontrol was discovered to be seriously lacking in its ability to
control what needed to be controlled. It's still available in the
"Everything" (aka fedora) repository online, if you really want it.

alsamixer is the standard fix in F11. gst-mixer is the GUI mixer.

I'll take your word for it, but it's pretty non-intuitive
to control pulse with something written for alsa.

Looks like pulse still isn't quite done yet.

During F11 testing there was a lot of "discussion" (i.e., almost, but
not quite, flame wars) about that. The Xorg position was that they
purposefully wanted to simplify the user interfaces to hide "high-end"
"weird" "confusing" behavior from everyday users.

By the time Fedora includes an Xorg revision in distribution testing,
Xorg considers that revision feature-frozen. Rather than back-grading
to an Xorg revision with a more feature-rich volume control (because
Xorg is more than a GUI volume control), the Fedora solution was to swap
out pavucontrol for gst-mixer as the preferred GUI and use alsamixer for
the stuff gst-mixer couldn't do.

Fedora may not be the edgiest of the leading edge distributions, but one
of its objectives is to find bugs and gaps early. In F11 one could
argue, it achieved that objective as far as pavucontrol was concerned.

It was in the state MM, but still having trouble as shown below.
