Hi,
I recently upgraded from FC6 to F8 and find my audio is gone. The
speaker symbol is still there but has a cross through it. Any option
to manage sound is gone as well.
lspci gives this for audio, so I know it's there:
00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb
AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a1)
Anyone a clue on how to solve it?
Thanks.
Try aplay -lLv to see what alsa thinks is available.
Then aplay -Dplughw:0,0 some.wav to see if you can play directly through
alsa.
I saw problems with esound being automatically enabled in F8 when it was
in rawhide.
esdctl off
I also needed nothing that pulseaudio provided and couldn't get it to
work. I admit I didn't
try very hard. ;-)
yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
If it works after this you know it is pulseaudio related and can go from
there.
If it comes up with another error you can search yum packages to see if
it is
available
yum list all | grep -i "part_of_packagename" e.g. pulse or alsa, etc.
