Sound out

[AnneMarie Robinson]

Suddenly I have no sound.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

[abhijeet tripathi]

Any messages you see in /var/log/messages?
Any application you have run after that sound is gone?

I don't know how to find var/log/messages?  Yes, I let someone try to install t Windows on the Compaq, and that was a disaster, so a friend got Fedora up and running again, and soon, not immediately, after that I lost the sound.  Maybe I have to reinstall drivers?

You don't have to find anything, you were told exactly what to look at.
Read the /var/log/messages file.  You'll need to be the root user to do
that.

e.g. su -
(type in the root password, and hit enter)
less /var/log/messages
(look through it for anything related to sound)

By the way, you don't top post on this, you write below what you're
responding to.  Nor do you post in HTML.  Keep doing both, and you find
your messages get ignored by those who can answer you best.  Don't know
how to avoid posting in HTML?  Ask, someone will say how.

It sounds dumb, but check the basics. Is the volume turned up and not
muted?  If you have external speakers, and they plugged in and powered?

[AnneMarie Robinson]

Thanks.  I did that stuff, but I'm still hearing silence.

Are you using KDE? I've noticed it seems to drop out a lot. Try the
things suggested already, but if you're using KDE, try changing the
backend engine from Gstreamer to Xine, or vice versa and test.

It's in "System Settings"

-c

Sorry I don't even know what KDE is.
