Greetings. I have sound through my system finally when playing a CD. However, there is no sound for internet video or You Tube. I also have no sound when I play a DVD. Again, there is video but no sound. I use Firefox with F16. Thanks for your help..
It sounds (to me) like you've not installed (or, perhaps, just not checked) the settings of the pulse audio mixer. (Or ALISA mixer if you're using ALISA on top of pulse.) IIRC, the mixer(s) default to a "zero" volume setting, and that sounds like what you're hearing.
The CD audio is often handled by hardware, bypassing your OS.
Hello. I went into alsamixer and went through all the controls to toggle between mute and sound. I downloaded a different video player. The video is perfect; the audio is null. What do I attempt next? Thanks.
what music codecs did you install?
fedora ONLY ships with the FREE and NON-patent-encumbered codec's
things like mp3 are NOT free and so are NOT included in fedora , and never will be

Dangermouse's Autopluse script
Thanks for your help. I did manage to follow the instructions and get my external DVD player to actually play audio with the DVD. Now, how do I get audio to work inside Firefox browser? Can you assist me, please? Thanks. RAJ
It's a no go; I am really baffled with this issue. I have followed your instructions and played around with Firefox plugins and researched forums and the support pages. Still I have not resoved this issue of not being able to hear video that within the internet. Audio plays fine with DVDs and CDs, but nothing on the internet in Yahoo or ESPN or any other site. What do you suggest, now? Thanks
ok is this the DEFAULT install of firefox? ( ? i think it is 7 )
or did you manually install 10.02
or
use the remi repo
if manually how did you take care of the plugins
i DO RECOMMEND using the "autopluse" program from DangerMouse
Dangermouse wrote it FOR new to linux ( and fedora) users
Also is this a 32 bit install or 64 bit install ?
if a 64 bit fedora 16
is this a 32 bit or 64 bit friefox ?
