If you have either F7 or F6 with all the updates you will have a

a speaker!
To use this bad system first turn up the Master and Master Mono to
the top and set Mike to the top. Now click File and select the TriTech
OSS Mixer.
Firstly, that "TriTech" bit only refers to your hardware. People with
different sound hardware will see something different.
Second, make a damn bugzilla report. We've all heard the same story
from you several times, this week. We know about it by now, you're not
doing anything constructive about it.
Karl - Please read this and listen. I am not writing this to be mean or
insulting in any way.
I have had FC-3, FC-4, FC-5, FC6, and FC-7 all installed one after the
other. At the same time I have always had rawhide (the development branch
of Fedora) installed too. And my mixers/volume controls have all worked
just fine.
So I really think that your problems are either your hardware or Pebkac.
Really. And if I had to bet I would bet on Pebkac.
No, in this case (at least), Karl is really onto something. After some
update, my F7 GNOME volume control show only one tab, "Playback", and
Mic shows up there instead of on the "Capture" tab where it used to.
And I can't set the +20db boost for the mic or select which mic is live,
either.
Running alsamixer from the command line shows all three display options
("tbas") "Playback", "Capture", and "All", but all the mic controls
appear on the playback tab--the "Capture" tab shows only a "Capture"
device. The Line device is labeled a Capture device, but its level only
shows in the Playback tab.
Consequently, I don't seem to be able to get the Skype test call to play
back my test message at all. I had it working in FC6 with some
settings, but I can't duplicate them in the GNOME volume control and
they don't seem to "take" in alsamixer.
(FWIW, my ALSA mixer is for an Intel 82801DB-ICH4 and my OSS mixer is
for an Analog Devices AD1981B.
I had none of these issues with FC6.
Karl, have you filed the damned bug yet?
What you guys are talking about has absolutely nothing to do with the
package named Gnome-Volume-Control.
>From the file description:
Summary : The GNOME Volume Manager
Description :
The GNOME Volume Manager monitors volume-related events and responds with
user-specified policy. The GNOME Volume Manager can automount hot-plugged
drives, automount inserted removable media, autorun programs,automatically
play audio CDs and video DVDs, and automatically import photos from a
digital camera. The GNOME Volume Manager does this entirely in user-space
and without polling.
Honest to $diety kids. GNOME Volume Manager does not have a darn thing to
do with any of this.
I know that. It's still a bug, and your claim that Karl is
hallucinating is still incorrect. And gnome-volume-manager is obviously
not gnome-volume-control (though Karl still seems confused on that
point). There is no package called gnome-volume-control, but there is a
program called gnome-volume-control and it's in the package gnome-media.
And nothing in my message or the message I replied to made any reference
whatsoever to gnome-volume-manager.
Two weeks ago I thought the problem was the volume manager. We
changed that and it had zero effect. Then I turned on the offending
Volume Control and in the help and who did it section they talked about
the gstreamer set of files, there are four rpm's with 4 rpm's with the
dep packages. I played with the many versions of gstreamer that have
been written for Fedora from the FC4 days to the present. I summarized
this in the bug I wrote.
Today the problem IS the gstreamer software. I can tell you what
works and what doesn't. But I can't write the code to fix a version.
