No, no, I did the upgrade in permissive mode.

Here is a list of what I tried:

sudo semodule -r matahari
sudo semodule -B 
sudo fixfiles restore
sudo reboot

After that, I tried 

sudo yum reinstall libvirt-daemon polkit

and got 

No Match for argument: libvirt-daemon

but the polkit did reinstall.

I then tried reinstalling selinux, and pulseaudio to no avail.

As final shot, I tried reinstalling everything:

sudo yum reinstall \*

And all went through, but still no sound. Hence this request for advice.

Funny, I don't see anyone who has reported this problem on F18 in the
archives.

Many thanks,
Ranjan
