Description of problem: The sound played fine on the initial test but after fedora started no sound would play. I went to soundcard detection and retested and it would not play. My sound card is the C-Media CMI9739/A sound onboard Nvidia Nforce 3 chipset Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 2 How reproducible: occurs after installation Steps to Reproduce: 1.install 2.test (plays) 3.after start no sound Actual results: no sound Expected results: sound Additional info: Audio Device says Vendor: nVidia Corperation Model: nForce3 Audio Module: snd-intel8x0 (I think it might be related to kdemultimedia)
Do you get any output when running "system-config-soundcard" from the console? Did you check the mixer settings (checking that the master/pcm/etc. tracks are unmuted)? Does sound play outside of KDE? What is the output of "aplay -l"?
I have nForce2 AC97 Audio onboard and it uses the same kernal module snd-intel8x0. Here's what you need to do. Go in the menu to Preferences>Sound and turn on the sound server. That should enable sound in general and make the test work as well. The one bummer is that that setting has to be made for each user seperately. P.S. I haven't tested it to see if this will work to enable sound if you've installed the Linux nForce drivers of nVidia but it should.
Sorry I forgot. That's Gnome directions. If you can't use those specific directions to enable the sound server, that's the direction to investigate how to do it in KDE.
