I get sound when booting from the F8 Live CD, so *something's*
changed. ~ The scsconfig.log file is attached.

cat /proc/asound/cards and see if somehow it's still finding another
card. What does alsamixer show for output devices?

Omce again. alsamixer does not work if pulseaudio is active.

Check that all the services that should be running are in fact running.

Personally, and not wishing to knock Lennart's Pulseaudio, which I'm sure
quite a lot of folks have found usefull. All the same though, I think I'd
temporarily remove the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package, then see if
sounds work as expected.

Pulseaudio, installed as default on F8 appears to have caused problems
for some folks, including myself, and removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
got my sounds back as they were before on previous Fedora versions.

Amen to that. I've been banging my head againt the wall for several
weeks because sound worked in stuff like mplayer, vlc, flash videos
etc., but not in Amarok. Removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio magically
fixed everything.

Hi Patrick. Nice to hear your sounds are fixed. Something else you could do if
you have any audio apps that use SDL, is to add the following line to
~/.bashrc, which will remove the hack that SDL programs need to use
pulseaudio.

unset SDL_AUDIODRIVER

All the best.

Nigel.
