Hello,
It's impossible to say where the problem is without knowing what kind of sound card do you have. Full brand with model name would be best.
Take care,

The sound card in my system is 'inbuilt' in the motherboard (INTEL D915GLVG).
Is this information sufficient?
thank you very much.

Hello,
It seems that snd-hda-intel driver is the one you should use. So, try to load it manually first, to see if it works. Open a terminal, become root (su command), then run
modprobe snd-hda-intel
No error means success. You should be able to see it in kmix (or any other mixer you may use) and test sound.
Hope that helps

When I issued the above command, the error message was..
FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found.
How can I get the module?
Thank you

Answer Hello,
Former name of snd-hda-intel was snd-azx. Try it. I recommend an upgrade to latest Fedora, however (5 currently). The driver has had a number of changes and bugfixes recently, so it's worth upgrading. But first if it works with the old name.
