Solved: FC4 - No Sound
FC4 correctly identified my sound card, however I have no sound. When it asks me if I heard the test sound and I say no it just states that the system doesnt have sound. How do I fix this?

A question - do you have more than one sound card, eg an onboard card and another plugged into the motherboard? I had a similar experience where my then-FC3 install didn't want to make any noises until I had disabled the unused card.

And you have run sndconfig, I'm guessing. Did you check your mixer levels and muting?
Start with the obvious, eh?

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool ...
