I've been running 64 bit F20 LXDE for some time now, and I had been
having tons of hiccups with my sound. I resolved the latest by removing
the "pulseaudio" and "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" packages, and, as someone
else suggested, running "sudo alsactl init". The person who suggested
that explained that it's often required to be run periodically.

About three days ago, I noticed that my sound was suddenly very low and
faint, but I was on my way out of town when I noticed, so I didn't
manage to troubleshoot at all, but now that I'm back, I tried that
alsactl command again, and it fixed the issue entirely.

To recap, my suggestion to you is:

    sudo yum remove pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
    sudo alsactl init

..and, if that doesn't work, maybe try rebooting and testing again after
that.

  Thanks for the suggestion, but it made no change.

     Best,
     Oliver
 

Good luck.
