I had the same problem. I found the issue by running: $ ls -la /dev/snd/* crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 9 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 8 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/hwC0D0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 7 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/hwC0D3 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 6 Apr 11 21:31 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 5 Apr 11 21:36 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 4 Apr 11 21:25 /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 3 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/pcmC0D7p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 2 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/pcmC0D8p crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/seq crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 Apr 11 20:00 /dev/snd/timer Notice, root and audio only have access to the sound devices. I ran: $ id uid=1000(myusername) gid=1000(myusername) groups=1000(myusername) and my user was NOT in the audio group. So, to fix this, I ran: $ usermod -G audio myusername then logged out of Gnome, and back in. Viola, sound!
Correction. This command must be run as root or using sudo: > $ usermod -G audio myusername Should be: sudo usermod -G audio myusername
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
