If you are at all familiar with a command line, you should bring one up in either a term or console and run the command aplay -l . This will immediately indicate whether the sound device was recognized by alsa. Because you had sound previously, it is very likely that it will be. Your symptoms sound like you have a volume turned down. If the above command gave you a sound device, in the same terminal run the command alsamixer . If it comes up with a single adjustment bar, your device is being controlled by pulseaudio (the default). Make sure the volume is turned up (ESC exits). Then make sure you have the package pavucontrol installed. I don't run KDE, so don't know where it is in the KDE menus. Look around in likely places for pulseaudio volume control. Once you find it, configure your sound device to the mode of operation you want it to have. This should give you sound. There are a lot of other twists and turns this could take that I haven't mentioned. If you end up on one of them, post back. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
