I can't hear any sound when I play a cd or mp3...but tested with system tools->Sound

Dear friends,

I have a fc2. For some reason I can't listen to any music form the machine. I have tested the soundcard by going into System settings -> Soundcard Detection. It detects sound fine.

But when I play a cd or mp3 etc , there isn't any sound coming out. I tried with xmms and the default cd player...none produce any sound eventhough the xmms did play the cd....

I tried aumix in command prompt, set everything to full volumn....

any idea?
thanks for taking time helping!

You are using GNOME or KDE?
Let make another test.
Open a multimedia which is part of your Desktop Environments ( for example rhythmbox in GNOME) to play the sound.
Perhaps xmms is not configured property

Code:

 $su 
 #alsamixer
 Configure bars with arrows, enable or disable service with "m" key.
 When done ESC
 #alsactl store

Hi,

I tried both ways, alsamixer turned all to 100 and used a rythmbox both no sound...
any other possibilities?

thanks for helping!

Sometimes after install the sound is muted. Check that possibility
