I'm new at this Linux thing and i've just installed Fedora Core 3 on my desktop, so i hope someone would be kind enough to help me out with my problems.
After installing Fedora, the first thing i notice is that i can't play any VCD, DVD or even normal audio CDs; I "tested" my soundcard and it work find because i can hear the sample sound played in the "Sound Card Detection" section and i can also hear all the system events sounds.... so far that is my worries after installing Fedora into my desktop apart from not being able to access my NTFS partition but that i can solve..... so pls help me out with my sound ( & video ) problems. thanks
Hi, I seem to have exactly the same problem. I cann't hear an audio cd and i cann't play a dvd (movie).
Testing the soundcard (system settings - soundcard detection) shows audio device, model and module. When i hit
"play test sound" i hear the test sound very well. I changed permissions of /dev/hdb (my cd-rom drive) to 664, but
this made no difference. I checked the alsamixer for muted switches or low volume levels. When i try to play a
audio-cd i can read all the tracks, so the cd-player is picking up a signal at least. Here is my lspci:

I followed the suggestion of a post to change the playmode in xmms from analog to digital, but this also made no difference. I am running FC3, kernel 2.6.10-1.741. I hope somebody can give me a clue. Thanks, Peter.
