Need assistance with no sound in Fedora 21

May be it'll help if you could try to remember what exactly you changed/removed/installed new just before the sound left.

I'm no expert either 😁 The system log could be of help too I guess.

MsElisaYesterday, sound left my operating system Fedora 21. I am a newbie at this and unsure what to do.

You mean first you had sound and now it ain't ? Please elaborate what have you done in between ? This 'Yesterday I had sound, today it's not' doesn't really help to find the problem.

Presuming that you haven't enabled rpmfusion repository, open terminal & type :

sudo -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'

Then install non-free codecs :

sudo yum install gstreamer gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugin-crystalhd gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-libav ffmpeg

If you don't like terminal, there is GUI available which will download all proprietary codecs, drivers also enabling rpmfusion in your fedora distro. Visit : #-Link-Snipped-#

dont worry the sound will come back as it left in the first place.

Thanks, so very much. I re-installed Fedora 21, and followed all instructions.

"Now I have Sound." 😁
