sound card detected, but no sound (FC3, VIA onboard sound)

[jlapier]

When I installed FC3, both my sound cards were detected - an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 (ice-envy24) and the onboard VIA AC97 (snd-via82xx). Unfortunately, neither play sound - when I do a test sound, play an audio file, a DVD, etc - no sound at all. I thought there was a problem with having two cards, so I pulled the M-Audio card, and now only the VIA chip is detected. Still no sound. Ran alsamixer and cranked all the volumes up - still no sound.

This machine used to run Ubuntu linux, and that would play sound out of either sound card, so I can't figure out what the problem is here... any ideas?

Thanks,

Try this.
(i assume you have Audio (MSSX) Player with Asla on the menu -- this replaces CD-Player when configured with mSSX?)
yum update Helix and CD-player to get the updates out of the way of future updates so you don't clobber the new installs.

Install RealPlayer for Linux (this is a replacement for Helix Player, that has codacs in it not in Helix)

If it doesn't play sound, then
Use volume control (should show all the things asla mixer shows in Play, Capture, Switches TABS.)

Make sure tone, wave are not muted.

Still no sound,

clcik each muted (red x, right side for pairs) and try a sound with
Audio Player (from CD)

Other things - don't install Real Player but find codac package from another repo??? On your on your own with that.

Find your card info on the net to set switch for all (or as many as the suthor knows about) for the various channels.
(might want to ask an ubuntu user to list that info on some site.)

And that is all I have as I am on FC4 and the tone, wave and the channel list settings was all I needed.
But the above is what I went thru for FC3.

I opened up the volume control in gnome, I unmuted the Master Mono level - that fixed it. Strange that the stereo Master was not muted, but the Mono was...why are there even two different controls for these?
Anyways, I got my mp3s and my DVD player works, so I'm all good.

Thanks
