I have just installed Fedora Core on my machine to learn learn about
Linux and compare it to Windows so I am a complete newbie. The
installation went okay but I'm having a problem playing CD's - there is
no sound. When I insert the CD, the Gnome CD player application opens
but there is no sound. I checked the system setup and the sound card
has been detected and the test sound plays perfectly.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Try opening a mixer and see if the sound card is muted if so take out the
check mark HTH

I cannot find anywhere that the sound card is checked muted. The system
sounds play okay. I just noticed that when the system boots, I get a
message that file dhcppc2 could not be detected and so GNOME will not
wirk correctly so I should add dhcppc2 to /etc/hosts. Could this be
related?

Many system manufacturers because Windows plays music CD digitally no
longer includes the sound cable. Use something like xmms and play them
digitally also.
Start xmms, press Ctrl+P, select the Audio Input Plugin: CD Audio Player
and click on the Configure button. Click (choose) the Play mode: Digital
audio extraction and click on the OK button, click on the Apply button
followed by clicking on the OK button.
To answer your question about the dhcpp2 message, No it is not related but
this can be fixed by (as root) opening the file /etc/sysconfig/network
file and give your system a hostname, sample below;
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=MyComputerNameHere
NOZEROCONF=yes

Thanks for the info - I tried your suggestion re xmms and still no
audio. Anything else I can try?
I had this same trouble and I found a message on a Newsgroup that gave this
information. I tried it and now I have no audio problems with XMMS:

It works great for me. I had been fighting this problem for quite a while,
but no more

Some have found the by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.local and adding something
like;
# Restore Alsa sound volume levels
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1;
And creating the /etc/aumixrc file (sample below) they have no more
problem.
Sample /etc/aumixrc file;
vol:75:75:P
pcm:75:75:P
speaker:75:75:P
line:75:75:P
mic:75:75:R
cd:75:75:P
igain:75:75:P
line1:75:75:P
phin:75:75:P
video:75:75:P

My computer has the CD-to-sound-card cable and xmms (aka Audio Player) is
in analog rather than digital. At first I didn't hear sound but playing
with the Volume Control brought it in. I don't recall if it was the main
"Volume" or the "CD" volume but it did the job. With Sound Juicer I put
the CD on my hard drive where it works well too.
Strangely my volume control has 2 tabs:
1) SigmaTel STAC9721/23 [Audio Mixer (OSS)]
2) Sound Blaster Live! [Alsa Mixer]
I have a Sound Blaster Live but it's the SigmaTel tab that seems to work
with the card. Not a big deal but it did make me a little curious.
Anyway, my sound problem was solved with the "wrong tab" of the Volume
Control. Maybe it'll work for Paul Dunn too.

I tried everything you have suggested and still I get no sound when I
try to play a music CD. I tried a DVD in the same DVD-ROM drive and got
no response to that either. When I insert a CD, the Gnome CD Player
opens but it does not respond and the CD does not play. If I try Grip,
the CD spins but there is no sound. I downloaded RealPlayer 10 and
ripped a track off one of my CD's and tried playing it from my hard
drive on RealPlayer and it plays perfectly. Everything works with the
same hardware under Windows on my other drive. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Worked for me too but I'm using Fedora Core 3 so I had to change the
directory entry from /mnt/cdrom to /media/cdrom
