Removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio magically > fixed everything. Just a note to the effect that I now have sound working with pulseaudio. The trick was to RTFM :-). Specifically, the instructions in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq (in the section entitled Fedora 7 -> Fedora 8) where it says: yum groupinstall sound-and-video gnome-desktop (if you are using Gnome) yum groupinstall sound-and-video kde-desktop (if you are using KDE) yum install libflashsupport paman padevchooser After exiting and restarting the session, this worked. poc
