Fix Sound Problems in Fedora 11

Posted: 20 Oct 2009 06:16 PM PDT

Ever since I started using Fedora, I’ve never been able to listen to my music collection (currently 122.4 GB) because there has always been a problem with the sound. It’s either the case that the sound works only after every other boot or that the sound doesn’t work when using my earphones.

When I first installed Fedora 11 on Jane (my new laptop; named after the artificial sentience thought to exist within the ansible network by which spaceships and planets communicate instantly across galactic distances), it worked perfectly. After the first few yum update, it suddenly stopped working.

If you’ve encountered the same problem, here’s how to fix it:

In your terminal, type

alsamixer -c0

It should show a screen (within the terminal) like this:

Before I took this screenshot, the <Headphone>, <Speaker>, and <PCM> were set to zero. All I had to do was navigate to those configuration options using the left and right arrow keys and increase the volume to maximum using the up arrow key.

Now I can listen to Lady Gaga while at the office! =D
