As you say, I don't have the problem. If you switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-[F2-F6]), and use the simple program aplay from alsa to play a .wav file, does it play? You can switch back to the gui, usually, with Ctrl-Alt-F1. If you run journalctl -r after a start and then mute, are there error messages related to sound? What does aplay -lv show for sound devices? Are you using the correct device as the default? What does alsamixer -c 0 show for settings in alsa? This is the first sound device, if the default is another device use that number instead. The leftmost bar should be turned on and set at the border of the red. If you open audacity, what does it show for sound device options? What is its default sound device? If you import an audio file into audacity, does it play? If you try to play an audio file with audacious, does it play? Are there error messages? Finally, you sound like you are familiar with pavucontrol, have you set the correct device as the default sound device? Don't know if these will help, just some things to try that will give you more information. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
