Well Fedora core 7 is old, but I'm posting from Fedora core 2, so as far as I'm concerned, if it is still working, and your happy with it, keep using it. Back to your sounds. Can you post the output from the following commands, which will show if the soundcard is being detected, and if the necessary modules are being loaded, cat /proc/asound/cards /sbin/lsmod | grep snd It's worth also opening alsamixer in Gnomes terminal, or KDE's Konsole, if you're using KDE like me, and see if all the necessary sliders are still up (Master, Front, PCM, CD), and that none of these controls are muted (The M key toggles the mute/unmute). Have you plugged a new audio related device into the USB (webcam, usb midi keyboard, etc). The usb starts early in the boot process, and alsa can detect these devices as soundcards, and set them as card0, thus stopping your actual soundcard using the card0 slot, resulting in no sounds. Just a few thoughts for a start.
