No sound, can't figure out how to disable Pulseaudio

[jbrown96]

Using Fedora 11 (AMD64) and I can't get sound working. I think that it's pulseaudio related; yet, I don't know how to disable it. I'm using KDE 4.2.3, so I can't use the normal Sound Settings dialog from Gnome.
Could someone help me remove pulseaudio and use alsa?

Thanks


Edit: just to add my solution from a later post in the thread. The "speaker" channel was muted by default. In the volume applet in the system bar, open the kmix mixer. go to settings, then configure channels. Add the speaker option and make sure that it is unmuted.

I just managed to resolve the problems. Not sure exactly how, as I installed bunch of stuff.
I presume that alsa-plugins and alsa-firmware among other alsa things resolved the issue. I had to reboot few times.

I still cannot get VLC and Amarok to work propely, while MPlayer and RealAudio works

Sorry Hlingler, I was looking for a how-to on getting alsa working and didn't realize that I didn't switch forums.

I tried following this guide but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Here's my audio hardware
lspci -vv | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

Wahoo!! I got it working. I'm not sure that it had anything to do with the guide that I followed in my last post. I rebooted, which probably didn't help. But upon rebooting, I was trying to get access to some more channels (PCM, speaker, etc) rather just the master. In Kmix, I went to configure channels and added the "speaker" channel, which doesn't have a volume bar -- just a mute option. And it was muted. Un-muting quickly fixed the problem. Interestingly, I still don't have access to anything more than "master" in alsamixer, but Kmix can see all the channels now, so I'm all set.
