Hi tomloredo, welcome to lq. Have you tried any of your mixers to unmute sound?
good luck.

I thought that I had checked that, but I will double check again to make sure. Thx for the reply.

So I checked all the mute settings in the sound mixers and all were set correctly. Are there any other tweaks that anyonce can think of to try and get the sounds working. I really want to be able to use Fedora as my main desktop and get away from M-soft
