I submitted this bug last night about no sound on my home system:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1056833
Out of curiosity, I checked out sound on my f20 work system today, and I see the same "dummy output" as the only choice in the gnome sound control.
Does anyone have sound on their fedora 20 system?
These are two radically different machines.
Is there some system service I may have disabled in my ignorance that needs to run in order to have sound?

Yes. I have sound on my bare metal system as well as 2 F20 VMs running under VBox.

Does your hardware have a mute button? Sometimes F20 has taken upon itself to mute my system on start-up. I discovered the problem when I had a silent system on start-up, then on a hunch hit the mute switch. Sound came roaring back.

disabled/non-existent/broken/whatnot != muted ;)

That must be it. If I run a live USB fedora 20 on the same machine, I get sound. I saved off a list of everything I thought might be relevant about the live image, now I just gotta compare it to the installed system and see what I'm missing :-(.

Would be interesting to know about it, when you catch it. Please do keep us informed.

In the past I had a problem with old config information breaking PA. Removing the PA config and reinstalling to get the default fixed things. This might be worth checking. (This would be stuff under /etc/pulse .)
You can check (via a gui) for stuff being disabled using pavucontrol. It would be odd for stuff to get disabled without you explicitly doing it.

Apparently the systemd fungus has grown over pulseaudio in fedora 20 (I wonder when they'll change the name "linux" to "systemd" :-). To work around this bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023820
I disabled pam_systemd.so in the /etc/pam.d/ conf files. That allowed me to reboot my system without having to yank the power cord, but apparently some mysterious mechanism intertwingles systemd user daemons with pulseaudio, so pulse doesn't work without the systemd user daemon starting :(.
So, I can have sound, or I can have the system properly sync the disks on shutdown without waiting several hours for timeouts, but I can't have both.
