 No sound I got no sound. My MB has VIA 82C686B chipset with AC97 sound. I read that VIA can be a problem in Linux, however I had no problems with Fedora C1 (Fedora C3 seems to be a lemon). In the Control Center-sound-system notifications I click the 'test sound button and get nothing. Any ideas? Thanks, Mort      |

| Re: No sound It can be that all chanels of your sound card are muted. It is the default ALSA setting and pretty common problem for a lot of people. If this is your case, you should run alsamixer and enable (+ set volume) whatever chanels you want (+ main control) and then as root issue "alsactl store" to have your settings saved for future use. |

Adusting them gave me sound. When I ran 'Volume Control I found a tab for 'VIA 82C686 ( ALSA Mixer)'. The control were then alright. It makes me feel like bonehead when I miss something that simple, but I think that's better than messin' around with config files.
