Hi sweet*amber,
Fedora Core (up to core2 test2 at least) comes with muted sound controls.
If you have alsa-tools installed, you can run alsamixer to adjust the volume. In KDE you can do the same thing (but much nicer) with kmix. There is a gnome app too, but I cant think of the name right now.
There can be other problems (I have, at times, wanted to silence the f*** thing for ever, until I realized this was the very thing I wanted to cure ) , but this is the most likely
I hope this helps,
- drowstar
Distribution: Red Hat 9.0 - Suse 8.0 - Slackware 7.0 - Fedora Core 2 test 3

oh... so you mean i just need to do some updates for my fedora? i have started the update earlier this morning (its about 8:10pm at this point in time) but since i am using a very slow 56k connection and someone is calling... i need to disconnect....
i saw some alsa thingy from that update.... i think i'll give it a try, hope it'll work
i'm using FC2T3 64-bit, i updated everything and i have the same problem...., the sound detection work(i can hear the test sound). I ran alsamixer from the terminal, it still didnt' work.
and the strange thing is that the system notification work.... but not the sound from other apps (like gaim, the sound)
For example if you are using alsa,for xmms go to options then prefercences and for the output plug-in try arts or alsa if oss try arts or oss,for gnome it might even be esound,I always disable the system sounds because if 2 apps are trying to play at the same time they will complain.
