As this only happened since F8, I'd suspect Pulseaudio, and I did have problems with Pulseaudio with F8 on one machine. No sounds, but as soon as I disabled Pulseaudio, the sounds came back. To disable it, simply remove the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio. yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio With the package above still installed, open alsamixer in a terminal as user. You will only see one slider, the pulseaudio one. Open alsamixer as below, and you will see all controls available for the soundcard. alsamixer -D hw:0 There may be something that is now muted since F8, and needs to be unmuted (the M key toggles the mute/unmute). Left, and right arrow keys for scrolling through the controls. Some may need to be pushed up. The usual ones are, Master, PCM, Front, CD, if they exist. If a switch (external amplifier, or external speaker) exists, try toggling that, while some audio app is playing something. Would you post the output from the following commands please. cat /proc/asound/cards grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec* /sbin/lsmod | grep snd All the best.
