While I was installing Fedora 7, I heard sound during the sound test. After Fedora 7 was installed, I tried System -> Administration -> Soundcard detection and I heard sound. I installed Macromedia, mplayer, vlc. I tried to watch youtube and did not hear sound. I used the System -> Preferences -> Personal -> volume control I now do not hear sound when I select System -> Administration -> Soundcard detection. What could explain the soundcard not being detected? Should I reinstall Fedora 7? I sent an email out on Monday, 20th Aug to which noone has responded. Are people tired of helping people get sound working? Is the subject of no interest? If anyone can give advice or feedback, I would appreciate it. Can someone point me to documentation? Thank you for your attention and consideration, Darlene Wallach
