I have recently just installed Fedora Core 2. It works fine, connects to the internet and everything, but it just refuses to play a sound.

When I go to system settings, hardware detection, it gives me :
Vendor - Fortemedia, Inc
Model - QS3000A (FM801)
Module - sndfm801

The soundcard itself is Standard CM8738 Sound Card PCI.

When I click on play a test sound, nothing plays.

I tried Aumix, and the volume is on full.

Please note that it is my first Linux installation, so I am still a

get root privileges, and type the following comand:

#]: /sbin/./modprobe sndfm801

and press enter.....

then please copy and paste the output on here, thanks!,

If you use KDE try the following (worked for me):

1. For some unkown reason, KDE sets your volume to lowest (mute) change the volumes back 1st.

2. turn off IEC958 Capture Monitor.

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried NONE of them and it worked.
Solution : Reinstall Fedora!

Thanks, however.
