start 'gnome-volume-control' go to the 'Switches' tab and enable the 'Speaker' checkmark. Let me know if it fixes your problem.

After boot into gnome I start 'gnome-volume-control' then I need mute and then un-mute PCM slider then sound will work. Also shows no errors. Let me know what other info I can provide to help troubleshoot this.
do you have alsa-utils package installed?
This looks like yet another of those incomplete default mixer initialization problems. Reassigning to alsa-utils.
hey there! It took me a while to see that there are more than one comment here! anyway, i opened 'gnome-volume-control', and no matter what device and engine (pulseaudio, alsa, oss etc.) i select, when look in into switches, i can't find the 'Speaker', so i can't select/unselect it... it's simply not there! maybe it would help if i said that before this fedora on my laptop, i tried ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04, as well as fedora 8, and basically had same problem with any of them...
(In reply to comment #6) > do you have alsa-utils package installed? Yes! [root@scooter ~]# rpm -qa alsa-utils alsa-utils-1.0.16-2.fc9.i386 [root@scooter ~]# I also noticed that I hear a click sound at the nash kernel boot time. Like it clicks on and clicks off again a couple of seconds later.
yeah, the same clicking sound from speakers is happening to me too! any ideas?
This is a long time problem, and it is also a duplicate of bug 196597.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
