The above is fair enough. If you had more than one USB audio device plugged in, I'd expect to see a card listed, when running, cat /proc/asound/cards, when the headset is not plugged in. Try opening alsamixer as user, on Gnomes terminal, or KDE's Konsole, as below. alsamixer -D hw:1 This should show any controls available for your Cmedia USB headset. Something may be muted (M key toggles mute/unmute), or perhaps there is a slider that needs to be pushed up. Pulseaudio, which has been the default soundserver since F8, can be a pain in the neck, and sometimes causes problems with various audio apps. You can disable it by simply removing the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, then your audio apps will use alsa directly. You can also re-enable it later if you wish, by just re-installing the package. yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio If you're using KDE, as I am, removing the above package, will also remove kde-settings-pulseaudio, so when re-installing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, you will also have to re-install kde-settings-pulseaudio. All the best.
