Need assistance with no sound in Fedora 21

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

I tested the sound settings, and they are turned on. The microphone test showed I was talking - it has a wave movement. However, the test for the output of voice sound did nothing.

Thanks, for any help.

    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.

    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-#

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

    "Now I have Sound." 😁
