All Sound Quiet, everywhere? Read here. [Fedora]

[Reality]

I had this problem recently, and someone on HF IRC gave me a video to it. I'm going to do a text-tutorial on how to fix this, and then I'll include the link to the video afterwards.

This happened to me, no idea why. I thought it was because I'd used gnash and it messed me up, but then I uninstalled it and used Flash, and nothing. So I reformatted thinking I must've done something wrong, still nothing.

Anyway enough about me.

What you need is:

• Terminal
  

Short list

Open up terminal through Applications > System Tools

Type in 'alsamixer'

You will get this:

Notice on the top right 'Sound Card' 'F6'

Tap F6 and you get to this menu

-- Sorry it comes up with for me

0 HDA Intel
That's my sound card, it was using a temporary one, or something, or maybe not and it'd just been messed with from the install, anyway select that one if you have it, or something that looks like that :tounge:

NOW.. you get here

Turn everything all the way up except for PCM and Front, they change when you do the actual volume, test it out.

That's it

You can probably mess around with this to see what the initial problem was, if you want

That is a sick desktop.

I'll try this when I finish downloading Java.
(What's the system monitor that you have called?)

I have an asus notebook if that's a monitor o_o

anyway, you have to be using Fedora I think to use alsamixer.

Try typing alsamixer into a new terminal window

I googled my problem and added the word (alsamixer) to the end and found out why my sound isn't working.

[Reality]

So does it work now? ;p

Most distros use Alsamixer
