Uninstall pulseaudio. You will need to keep these.
rpm -qa pulse
libpulse0-0.9.21-9.2.
libpulse-mainloop-glib0-0.9.21-9.2.
libpulse0-32bit-0.9.21-9.2.
Now make sure you have gstreamer installed.
rpm -qa gstreamer

Jonathan_R, we should hang on for a while until jony127 posted more info about his used environment. Your example looks like working within GNOME, but jony might use KDE or something completely else.

I use kde. At the moment I have no other sound problems.

Check your mixer channels. By default the PCM channel is set to zero and needs to be turned up.

Ok, I turned the channel PCM and now hear perfectly.

Thank you.

No problem. Sometimes being a beginner helps, you don’t overlook he simple stuff.
