Description of problem: When I login, the sound system is not working. When I run Administration > Soundcard detection, it reports Vendor: Ensoniq Model: ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] Module: snd-ens1371 with device settings ES1371 DAC2/ADC However when I click to play the Sound Test, is almost immediately asks did I hear the sound, which I did not. I arrived at this state after running the command yum upgrade alsa-lib alsa-utils kdemultimedia system-config-soundcard Prior to that, sound was working when logged in as root, but not as an ordinary user. When an ordinary user logged in, there was a popup panel immediately with the message: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. At that time, the device /dev/dsp had these properties: $ ls -l /dev/dsp crw-------+ 1 gfreeman root 14, 3 2007-10-13 06:54 /dev/dsp $ getfacl /dev/dsp getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/dsp # owner: gfreeman # group: root user::rw- user:gdm:rw- #effective:--- user:gfreeman:rw- #effective:--- group::--- mask::--- other::--- I tried chmod 660 /dev/dsp but it did not improve the situation, which is why I tried upgrading the software. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Sound is not working under Linux. It is working fine under MS XP. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login as root 2. Administration > Soundcard detection 3. Click on Test Sound Actual results: Popup asking me whether I heard a sound, which I did not. Then an Error dialog asking me to submit a report to RedHat Expected results: I expected to hear the test sound, which I used to hear as root. Additional info:

The logs look sane. Please try to update to F8 and check again. There's a huge sound-system update there.
