From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 Description of problem: Sound does not work at all on this Thinkpad T23 (and worked fine under Fedora 7). I have four choices for sound playback: two produce no sound and the other two produce clear errors. Intel 82801CA-ICH3 and OSS produce the error: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application." ALSA and PulseAudio (and Autodetect) do not give the error message but also do not produce any sound. Thank you! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.22.1-4.fc9.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. System>Preferences>Hardware>Sound 2. Select an option for Sound Events 3. Click the Test button Actual Results: See description - either nothing or an error message depending on which Sound Event playback option I chose. Expected Results: See description - I should have heard a test sound. Additional info: Sound worked on this laptop when I had Fedora 7 loaded
What's the output of: ps aux | grep pulseaudio and: rpm -qa "*pulse*"

This is a duplicate of bug 438448. See the temporary workaround at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438448#c8 Btw, this is not a control-center bug since a utility as aplay does not work when invoked from the shell either.
Sound is actually back for kernel package 2.6.25.14-106.fc9.
Closing as a duplicate then. Glad it's fixed now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 438448 ***
