I've been using F11 since it came out and it works great. But I haven't
had any sound since I did the upgrade.  Sound worked great in F10. Its
getting old not having sound.  How do I get it working ?

I've removed pulseaudio and mplayer and removed the .mplayer folder and
then reinstalled mplayer.

How should I proceed from here ?

Thanks
Sound also failed for me when I upgraded my virtual machine from F10.
It also failed on a new virtual machine install of F11.  Status for
sound is as follows:

VM upgrade of F10 to F11:

     Removed PA.
     Unable to remove Alsa because of dependency hell.  (Most
everything is tied to it.)
     Download and installed Open Sound System driver rpm:
http://www.4front-tech.com/download.cgi

     Got sound and a mixer but no master volume control for Gnome taskbar.

VM F11 install:

       No sound device. PA Manager/Device Chooser and find device or
defaults to null.
       Removed PA
       Enabled OSS sound support in /etc/modprobe.d/dist-oss.conf

       After restart: Sound card detected. Alsa mixer works.  No master
volume control for Gnome.


I also have virtual machine instances of openSUSE 11.1 and Ubuntu 9.04
installed on the same machine. Sound works in both.  As far as I am
aware both distros use Pulse Audio. So, where or how did Fedora
developers get off track and derail sound?

Thanks for detailing your process, but I can't help but notice its for a
VM instead of an actual installation like I am running.  Does anyone
have tips for a non VM installation ?

Why did you have to download the oss driver from a non Fedora location ?
What is Fedora expecting us to use and what do we need to do to get it
working ?

Thanks



I had no sound until I found the tip to run alsamixer -c0 and make sure the appropriate levels were maxed, then PA was fine.
