I just started fresh using FC2, previously using FC1 (as in i didn't updated, i reinstalled completely). Previously my sound worked fine with no problems but after installing FC2, i have no sound at all. here is some information that i have been able to gather that might be relevant:
i have 2 sound cards:
onboard: VIA Technologies; VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller; snd-via82xx
PCI: Creative Labs; SBLive! EMU10k1; snd-emu10k1
the funny thing is the VIA works and the SB does not (at all). i don't think disabling the VIA in the bios is needed since it use to work and now does not.
to test the sound i have been using the "Soundcard Detection" thing in "System Settings" and pressing "Play test sound". also it doesnt work with anything else (like xmms).
in reading previous posts from this forum i have checked the PCM and PCM2 settings, checked my volume controls to be correct and fiddled around with kmix.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
