1:49 p.m.
I installed F20 shortly after it's release. Everything worked as expected.
All kernels released since then have resulted in the sound not working.
The kernel that works is 3.11.10-301.fc20.i686+PAE. Sound does not work
for the 3.12.x and 3.13.x kernels.
I have searched for a solution for this and found several
recommendations but none worked for me.
I have compared a listing of the modules (lsmod) from the working kernel
and non-working kennel and both lists have the same sound modules loaded
(there is a size difference in some of the modules, but I expected that).
I have compared the output from amixer for both working and non-working
kernels and they are exactly the same.
The sound related packages that are installed are:
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-4.0-13.gitf81e3.fc20.i686
alsa-tools-firmware-1.0.27-3.fc20.i686
alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-4.fc20.i686
alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.16.rc2.fc20.i686
alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-2.fc20.i686
pulseaudio-libs-4.0-13.gitf81e3.fc20.i686
alsa-firmware-1.0.27-2.fc20.noarch
I am not very knowledgeable about sound. I am sure I need to check other
configuration settings but I do not know which files are relevant.
Any help will be appreciated,
David

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?
I would file a bug on fedora then take it up with the alsa-user
mailing list: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Mailing-lists
if it's a driver issue they're the ones most likely to be able to
help.

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

Error in the above. It does not start with audio selected as 'discard

Error in the above. It does not start with audio selected as 'discard

Could the issue be the audio source itself? I had an issue yesterday
with a web golf video I was watching where the instructor was talking
away but there was no sound from my headphones, whereas other videos
from the same source had no issues with sound. I have also noticed
that with youtube videos that sound lvls output from the videos vary
significantly, in that on some videos the sound is loud and on others
if is very soft and almost inaudible.
regards,
Steve
I can reboot to the 3.11 kernel and the sound it just fine playing the
same file.

My sound isn't working either. I didn't notice it until just this
weekend. I know it was working but I can't say when it stopped.
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.
I'm playing an internet radio station via Chrome right now. I see in
"pulseaudio volume control" that the speakers are pretty much pegged at
the max but no sound at all. One odd thing I just noticed is that just
below the two slider controls for left and right speaker and above the

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

I'm playing an internet radio station via Chrome right now. I see in
"pulseaudio volume control" that the speakers are pretty much pegged at
the max but no sound at all. One odd thing I just noticed is that just
below the two slider controls for left and right speaker and above the
volume output level it says "Silence" on the left (which I understand)
but "100% (0dB)" on the right which is strange. The two slider volume
controls have a max of "153% (11.00dB)." Even at the max setting there
is no sound at all.

you don't show the standard pulseaudio package??
pulseaudio-4.0-13.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64
do you use the pulseaudio Volume control in Sound & Audio?
I have Mythtv installed as well. When I first installed Mythtv many
years ago they recommended not using pulseaudio just alsa.

I have searched for a solution for this and found several
recommendations but none worked for me.
I have compared a listing of the modules (lsmod) from the working
kernel and non-working kennel and both lists have the same sound
modules loaded (there is a size difference in some of the modules, but
I expected that).
I have compared the output from amixer for both working and
non-working kernels and they are exactly the same.
The sound related packages that are installed are:

I am not very knowledgeable about sound. I am sure I need to check
other configuration settings but I do not know which files are relevant.

The kernel that works is 3.11.10-301.fc20.i686+PAE. Sound does not
work for the 3.12.x and 3.13.x kernels.
I installed it about a week or two ago, but had no speakers connected at
the time. These are the currently installed kernels, I haven't tried
sound with the older one, yet:
[tim@troubled ~]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.11.10-301.fc20.i686
kernel-3.13.10-200.fc20.i686
I have sound, but it's too quiet - it's down by about 15dB, according to
my sound mixer (a real audio mixer, that my computer is patched into),
from where I expect it to be (based on prior experience). And my
cabling is fine (my background is in electronics engineering, I have
thoroughly checked the cabling and equipment).
The pulseaudio metering is also showing very low, for audio sources that
I know have plenty of signal strength. Running the computer's audio
mixer levels into the overdrive range only manages to bring audio levels
up by a small amount - normally you'd get horrid distortions as you go
just a bit above 100%.
I did have one application play at proper levels, once, but everything
else is running low.
The alsamixer levels have been turned up to full, as well as the
pulseaudio controls (master levels, front speaker levels, headphone
levels, and PCM/wave output).
There does seem to be some software bugs, you seem to be suffering worse
than I am, though.

Could the issue be the audio source itself? I had an issue yesterday
with a web golf video I was watching where the instructor was talking
away but there was no sound from my headphones, whereas other videos
from the same source had no issues with sound. I have also noticed that
with youtube videos that sound lvls output from the videos vary
significantly, in that on some videos the sound is loud and on others if
is very soft and almost inaudible.

Steve
<snip the list of installed packages>
It might be the source but I've tried a few between a bit ago and last
weekend. Also, I would think that the pulseaudio volume meter wouldn't
be showing me that it's pumping out sound at close to max volume if the
sight wasn't sending me something. However, I'm no pulseaudio expert.
I have another laptop (Dell) so I'll check how it's working. The laptop
that I use currently is from Think Penguin. The audio hardware (from
lspci) is
"Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio
Controller (rev 06)."
