Ed, thanks for the hint. I hadn't done that yet, instead I installed a second soundcard (Soundblaster live) from another computer. FC2 detected allright but still I did not get sound (although multimedia applications (like xmms) play files without problems). I get no error reports. When I try to open the Volume Control I get the error reply "Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found"
After running system-config-sound I had the option to play a test sound. That one I heard. Tried to play some music again with XMMS and now I here the music but volume is low. Starting the Volume Control app gives the same error report. (Volume level control in XMMS works).
Then I tried the command aumix from the command line and that seems to work.
Launching gnome-volume-control from the command line gives an error report : " ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstffmpeg.so
Please either: - remove it and restart. - run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug. " So at least I get something to start investigating. If remember well gstreamer and associated packages were updated some time ago. Anyway, I have rudimentary sound control now, it keeps me busy and I learn something :-)
Thanks for the tip ! Marc

Hello everybody,
sound on my PC has disappeared.. I am using FC2, Gnome environment and sound has always been working OK. A couple of days ago suddenly my PC went mute. When starting XMMS (or any other multimedia application I have installed) it starts up all right without error reports but no more sounds. Only when I try to adjust the sound level via the Volume Control I get the following message : "Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found"
The hardware browser still recognizes the sound card hardware, So I guess nothing is wrong with that.
My question is : How can I or what should I do to get sounds again on my computer ?
Thanks for any advice/help, Marc
Hey Marc, have you tried running system-config-sound again?
Regards, Ed.
