There is another issue with sound in Fedora 8, but this appears to be related to the new PulseAudio sound method. When you launch KDE, sometimes a message will popup with the error message: “Error while initializing the sound driver: gizmo: default cannot be opened for playback (Permission denied) The sound server will continue, using the null output device”. If this is the case, open up a terminal & enter the following commands to get your sound back again:

I had some similar problems since my last round of updates….

In the Fedora Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System/Hardware tab

change the selected audio device to Open Sound System or Threaded Open Sound System.

Those both are working, at the moment, for me. ALSA worked for a while, then stopped

for no apparent reason….

I think you should install latest Fedora release – 14. Fedora 8 is not supported any more from the community.

Hi everyone!
I just installed Fedora 8 on my PC and still I can not hear any sound on my system even when the record input / output. My sound card is Intel ICH6.

Please help me solve this problem. Actually, I’ve been using Mandriva and Ubuntu, but some friends told me that Fedora is very stable and useful, so I decided to have some changes! But this problem prevents me discover Fedora. Please help me, thank you very much!

Best Regards!

I have recently upgraded from F5 to F8. I had success in solving my sound problem and want to share my experience. I went directly to solution 3 above without removing alsa-plugins-audio ( solution 2 ). Solution 1 was not pertinate in my case. The console kit and avahi-daemon were already enabled.

Doesn’t matter. I never said I hate all Microsoft products. I just don’t think it’s useful enough for me. So even if I get a free copy of Windows and if it’s not useful why should I use it.

I wouldn’t mind paying for X-Box, if I were into gaming, coz it’s a good product (as far as I know). I don’t hate microsoft, I am just passionate about Linux and the good software I get along with it..(it doesn’t mean, since it’s free I love it). I almost dont get anything with a single copy of Windows. Plus it crashes all the time.

Liking something just coz u want to hate something else is never a good thing. It’s about making ur choices and well if 90% people like windows they may have better reasons for liking it…..it doesn’t matter
