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
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.

I'll try to find some time this weekend to troubleshoot the problem.

Kernel 3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64 and 100% up to date with all the alsa,
pulseaudio, etc., packages.  No MythTV installed, BTW.
