    No sound on new installation (Fedora 10, GNOME)

    Hi,

    I have a clean installation of Fedora 10 + GNOME on a desktop with a Crystal sound card. The card seems correctly detected according to lsmod:

    Code:
    $ lsmod | grep snd
    snd_cs4236             18188  0
    snd_opl3_lib           12800  1 snd_cs4236

    snd_mpu401_uart        10368  1 snd_cs4236
    snd_rawmidi            22528  1 snd_mpu401_uart
    snd_cs4231_lib         24704  2 snd_cs4236,snd_cs4236_lib
    snd_seq_dummy           6660  0

    soundcore               9416  1 snd
    snd_page_alloc         11016  2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm
    The problem I have is that the GNOME app for configuring sound (System->Preferences->Hardware->Sound) does not list my card and the PulseAudio app (Sound & Video->PulseAudio Volume Control) shows that I have only a "null" device available.

    I've tried playing a WAV file through the Totem app and I get no sound.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Have you tried to unmute everything in Alsamixer?
    System->Preferences->Hardware->Volume control
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Everything available is unmuted. When I open Volume Control I get a dialogue box with a list box labelled "Device" and a tab control. The "Device" list box offers me the following choices:

    Playback: Null Output (PulseAudio Mixer)
    Capture: Monitor of Null Output (PulseAudio Mixer)

    If I select the "Playback" option then the title of the tab control becomes "Playback". The tab control shows one stereo volume control. The volume is set to maximum. The speaker button is set to unmute.

    If I select the "Capture" option then the title of the tab control becomes "Recording". Again the tab control shows one stereo volume control. The volume is set to maximum. The speaker button is set to unmute. The microphone button is set to unmute.

    Still no evidence of the installed sound card though. What should I try next?
