I have had lots of input on this problem, however, none have fixed the sound problem. At this point, it is time to submit a bug report. Do I need to file the report with Fedora or with kernel.org?
Thanks to all for your help,
David

I see the pulseaudio volume meter telling me that it's playing, I see the level varying, etc., but nothing from the speakers. I checked alsamixer and nothing is muted.
you might have the wrong card selected.. check the output tab, and see if you can select a different card. This used to happen to me all the time . I think somewhere you can change the default to the correct card. Right now, my pulse audio volume control is crashing, so I can't really explain any better, sorry:(
I had tried vlc and selected each card in turn and got no sound from any of them. NOTE: vlc started with audio selected as 'discard all samples'. Selecting visualizations did indicate that there was sound.

Error in the above. It does not start with audio selected as 'discard all samples'. It was just high lighted. It started with the default card selected.

I have tried all the recommendations I have received but none fixed the sound problem.
I normally install a list of programs using ks.cfg. To eliminate the possibility of not including one or more programs that need to be installed I re-installed F20 using the dvd and changing the desktop to xfce with xfce plugins and libreoffice.
The install program made all other selections.
After install I did a sound test using aplay on the original F20 kernel (3.11) and sound worked. I then did a full upgrade, reboot and retested using the same program (aplay) and the same sound file.
NO SOUND.
It would seem to me that one of the sound modules is the cause of the problem. The sound modules that are install are:
snd_hda_codec_realtek 45592 1 snd_hda_intel 42658 6 snd_hda_codec 155748 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13232 1 snd_hda_codec snd_seq 54679 0 snd_seq_device 13824 1 snd_seq snd_pcm 81999 4 cx88_alsa,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel snd_page_alloc 13852 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel snd_timer 23750 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd 59132 24 snd_hda_codec_realtek,cx88_alsa,snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device soundcore 14123 1 snd
Since I am not very knowledgeable about sound, is it reasonable to unload all sound modules and reload the sound modules from the 3.11 kernel and re-test?
If so, do I use insmod 'full/path/to/module' that i want to load? Do I load them in the order that they are listed above? If not what order do I need to use?
Thanks for everyone's input,
David
