When I first installed FC5 I had sound. I did a yum update, sometime in October, and still had sound. I installed a variety of programs--mplayer, vlc, etc--including codecs, and somewhere along the way my sound went away. I have looked at the mixer settings in both alsa and oss and see nothing muted. I have tried both digital and analog. Obviously something got messed up in a configuration file someplace. Below is the output of the aadebug script. If I run speaker-test as root I get: >speaker-test speaker-test 1.0.11rc2 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:786:(snd_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) snd_pcm_hw_params_any failed ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:877:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave Playback open error: -22,Invalid argument . . . Any help appreciated.
