I have no sound too. In volume control there is "null output" in output tab. But in system-config-soundcard everything seems to by OK and sound test works.

There is probably some problem with PulseAudio.

When I change PulseAudio Default Sink to another computer in my network with F11 everything works, but not for local soundcard :(

Which soundcard dou you have?

[Demz]

where it says Alert Volume dont move that, aan be sure it aint on mute. its defaulted to Mute after install, its up to the user to un-mute it

[cgrim]

In PulseAudio Manager in Devices tab I have no device - so I think the problem is here and not in mute :-(
Before upgrade on F12 Alfa there were devices for output and input.

[Demz]

do you use onboard sound or seperate soundcard?

[cgrim]

Onboard:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

[Demz]

have you tried to modprobe your Sound Device?

[cgrim]

Yes and you can see my alsa-info report here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=9e36b3ba9e788e172e1f6dab5a7bbba31a55ab9d

But PulseAudio still cannot see any device.

After modprobe I tried to restart PulseAudio but still nothig ... is there any possibility to tell to PulseAudio that I really have soundcard? ... for example by some configuration or somethig like that.

[Demz]

that i have no idea. you be better off to visit the Pulseaudio website an probably look in the wiki http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ

by the way, have you tried a Ubuntu9.10 LiveCD an see if thgat detects your onboard sound ?

[cgrim]

Thanks.
Yesterday in Fedora 11 it worked perfectly ;-)
I'll look into PulseAudio bug report list - it should be problem specially only for 0.9.16test6 version.

[Demz]

i forgot to mention to have a look in Bugzilla about it :)

For filing a report, see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bug_info_PulseAudio

thanks!

[cgrim]

Thanks for your help, I created new ticket http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/637 and we will see, what's wrong.

[cgrim]

I added myself into audio group and now it's working.

But in F11 I wasn't there and it worked too ...

[Demz]

you might wanan comment in your pulseaudio bug report how you got it working

[lmcogs]

I uninstalled pulseaudio and then got sound but after installing pulseaudio lost sound again

[Demz]

i just tested the beloved pulseaudio myself an got NO SOUND at all

[AdamW]

well, that was detailed and helpful!

[Demz]

i just updated from Alpha Adam pulseaudio an tested the sound, did i get any sound tho?.. nope.. but pulseaudio i think it was input would automatically put it self on Mute.. puls aint getting better, its infact getting worse IMO

[AdamW]

there does seem to be a bug which causes quite a lot of chips to get initialized at 0% volume at first boot. If you run gnome-volume-control, you can raise the volume up.

[Demz]

dunno if thats a " bug " isnt that a feature? :D but iv'e also noticed in snap1 i can Raise the Volume but it will Automatically come back to 0% untill i push it back up to 100% volume again

[AdamW]

no, it's a bug, they're supposed to be initialized at a sane default volume. I've found raising the volume in an app doesn't always work, to be safest I load gnome-volume-control and raise it there. Annoying bug...
