'No volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found...'error when noticing my volume control had the international "no" symbol on it.
This was my first time booting Fedora 8 since installing nearly 200 updates and many new programs, including some media players, so I'm rather sure that I accidentally changed permissions during this process.
To verify this as the problem, I logged into X as root and noticed my volume control did not complain like it did in my normal user mode.
The solution that worked for me was to run this command:

The solution that worked for me was to run this command:
Code:
(sudo/log in as root)
chmod -R a+rwx /dev/snd/
The above seemed to only work during a single session. From the FedoraForum I learned to:
edit /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms
Add to the top section:
<sound>=/dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*
Then, at the bottom add
<console> 0666 <sound> 0600 root
This fixes the non-root issue if pulseaudio isn't involved.

I had the same problem with the sound. Also my player crashes everytime i play something because of this. I tried all the solutions given above, rebooted and it worked! thanks guys!
