Hello,
I've searched this in the archive and on the internet and still haven't found
anything.
I have Creative Audigy SB sound card. It doesn't work on F10. When logging in
to KDE, KDE says something about pulse audio doesn't work, and phonon is
falling back to use Audigy, but I still don't have any sound.
I tried GNOME and still doesn't have sound.
I thought there used to be "system-config-soundcard" , but I couldn't find
that
either. Below is some relevant output of lspci and lsmod in case it helps
diagnosing the problem.
I still have FC 7 on the system (multi-boot), and just confirmed that the sound
works on FC 7.
Thanks for any help.

That's it! The Analog / Digital switch is the key. After I changed its
state in Alsamixer sounds now works !
I disabled Pulseaudio stuff for now. But maybe this will work also with
Pulseaudio (not sure about the merit of pulseaudio, and I know that some
people don't like it. But out of curiosity, I might just give it a try.)
Thank you very much !

Well that's a nice end to the day. with helping someone to resolve a sound
problem.
Enjoy the sounds RDB.

Usually there should be no problems with audigy cards using the
emu10k1
driver.
My alsamixer shows "Card" Audigy2 Platinum (SB0240P).

I checked alsamixer before and it's unmuted. I am not sure with what you
mean by "Analog A" switch.

For some reason, that command gives:
$ alsamixer -D :hw0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL :hw0
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for :hw0: No such file or directory

Did that, still no luck.
Another curious thing, Alsamixes now shows :
Card: Audigy 1 [Unknown]
Chip: SigmaTel STAC9750,51
Not sure if that's the correct chip (not sure how to find out either).
Could it be getting the wrong driver or something ?
Thanks.

Usually there should be no problems with audigy cards using the emu10k1
driver.
My alsamixer shows "Card" Audigy2 Platinum (SB0240P).
Chip: SigmaTel STAC9721,23
All works ok for the sounds
Regarding the Analog A switch, that should have been Audigy A switch Try
scrolling along the various controls in alsamixer using the arrow keys. You
should find a control named "Audigy A", and try changing it's state using
the
M key. This changes it's state from analog to digital output. Sometimes this
control is muted, and consequently no analog sound output. It's also worth
checking other sliders, like, Master, PCM, Front, Synth, and Wave, and
pushing them up if at zero.
Apologies if I havn't helped to resolve your problem. I don't have F10
installed on the machine with my soundblaster card, so I'm a bit in the dark
with your problem.
Nigel.

Is PulseAudio running? Make sure it is installed:
yum install pulseaudio kde-settings-pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
(Yes, you should reinstall the stuff they told you to remove, it's a bad
idea.)

Try opening alsamixer as below, as maybe some sliders are down, or controls
muted. The "M" key does the mute/unmute. Check the "Analog A" switch.

Try opening alsamixer as below, as maybe some sliders are down, or controls
muted. The "M" key does the mute/unmute. Check the "Analog A" switch.
alsamixer -D :hw0
If that fails to work, disable pulseaudio, with the command below.
yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
Doing this will also remove the kde-settings-pulseaudio package
Reboot, and see if the sounds are now working with pulseaudio out of the
equation.
All the best to you, and the worst to pulseaudio.
Nigel.

I tried both with and without pulseaudio and still have no sound. Any other
idea ?
Thanks.
