I cannot seem to have any sound when I am in Youtube watching video. The video is fine but, I am not getting any sound. Also, if I try to listen to online radio, such as www.sky.fm or Pandora.com, I cannot get any sound. Will someone please assist me with this issue? You may email me at 2012mail@hushmail.com

Thank you

It's not a good idea to publish your email in the clear, available to be harvested by spammers. Also, LQ norms expect responses to be posted to threads, so others who visit later can benefit from the answers.

I am assuming that you have checked all the volume settings to make sure that nothing is muted. Also, that you have tested with headphones (assuming you have headphone jacks) to determine whether the problem is general to the sound system or isolated to the speakers. By the way, what kind of computer is it?

If it were me, my next test would be to boot to a live CD of something (other than Fedora) and test the sound. If it works under the live CD, then it's a Fedora problem. If not, it's a larger problem.

We need to eliminate the suspects, as it were, until we find the culprit.

Frankbell....You're correct about posting email address. I have deleted it. I did as you suggested. I tried playing a CD on KsCD player and still no sound. My computer is an IBM intel pentium 4 cpu 3.20 GHz,2 cores,speed 3.200.00 MHz Linux 3.3.7-1.fc16.i686 i686
System: Fedora release 16 (Verne)
KDE: 4.8.3 (4.8.3)Hope this info. is helpful.

So, to make sure I understand, you booted to a Live CD of something with KDE and the sound didn't work. That would lead me to think it's not a Fedora problem and likely a hardware (sound card, wiring, speaker) problem, but it's possible it could be an obscure sound card.

Try running the command lspci in a terminal; it should report the sound device. Then post that information here (you don't have to post all the output of lspci, just the sound-related stuff); that might give someone some ideas.

If this is a desktop, try opening it up (with the power off), then removing and reseating the sound card. Also, check that the wiring and plugs are okay. If it's a laptop, all I can say is I take them to a professional when surgery is indicated.

Good luck.
