Ive been having abit of difficulty getting sound to work in FC2. I did not have these problems in FC1.
While invoking xmms to play a wav file. the following pop-up window was observed:
couldn't open audio
Please check that
your soundcard is configured properly
you have the correct output plugin selected
no sound program is blocking the soundcard
I also noticed the following when starting the system with startx: a series of messages saying audio_alsa: no cards found.
I ran system-config soundcard and it detected my ens1371 sound card and was able to play the test sound.
I tried to play the wav file again with the same popup window message occuring. I did a ctrl-alt-F1 to see what messages occured. The same "audio_alsa: no cards found" message (2 times) was seen.
I also do not have gnome sound events even after installing the libgnome update.
Is this an upgrade or a fresh install?
An upgrade.
What do you find in /etc/modprobe.conf (and /etc/modules.conf)?
This is modprobe.conf:

What output driver is configured in XMMS preferences? If you choose "OSS Driver" just for testing, does that work?
output plugin is eSound Output Plugin 1.2.10 Don't know about OSS Driver output (see running under root below)

Do you find anything audio/ALSA/ens1371 related in /var/log/messages?
no.
root: When starting up as root the problems don't occur: no "audio_alsa: could not find card" messages system sounds work xmms works
It's almost like a promissions problem it would seem? Right now I am running as root with no further problems occuring. Stange!
