Can anyone help me diagnose a problem with sound on my system? I have Fedora 8 and sound was working previously. I don't remember doing anything to disable it.
unmute it . do a alsa config. or use your yum program to do it for you. then make sure it is not muted FC* sound problem 2000000000. is it the card or the file your trying to play.good day
I've had this issue where my sound has completed stopped before, and I realised it was because i was running an OSS app (teamspeak) so basically it "hogged the sound".
If thats the case then you might need to run aoss for those apps
not sure if its the same for fedora, but run alsamixer and ensure the channels are all maxed and not muted
