http://forums.fedoraforum.org – When I try to watch Youtube videos, most of the time the sound does not work. Sometimes it does, I'm not sure why. Also, VLC audio does not work. Can someone please help me figure out what's wrong? When I run "play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" no sound plays and I get an error: Code: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1466:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Unknown field slave play FAIL formats: can't open output file `default': snd_pcm_open error: Invalid argument When I run 'dmesg | egrep -i "(alsa|sound)"' I get: Code: [  18.668170] ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c:1273 (HowTos)

No sound in F17 LXDE 25 weeks 5 hours ago

I don't get any sound playback in LXDE, I am also not able to play .m4a files or .mp3 files.

Sound for various devices is at best erratic. It is hit or miss whether sound emits at any given time.

sound problems under 11.2 64bit 3 years 15 weeks ago

This is a very new desktop system using an ASUS mainboard with built on sound.

I've never had sound working properly and have re-installed many times.

One sound will play (KDE4 desktop sound, Amarok audio, even games under WINE) but when a second sound plays, it stops the first one (and plays perfectly), but then the first app is no longer able to play sound.

multiple sound apps in ALSA 3 years 15 weeks ago

I have stated that I use Pulse because ALSA fails to utilize more then one sound app. With ALSA if I watch a youtube vid in firerfox and soon open my music player the music player wont work unless I close off firefox. so I close off firefox but sometimes flash hangs the sound device hostage and I have to log out or kill something to make sure ALSA is freed up.
