Probably because your mixer has your audio down to almost inaudible levels.
With your PC connected to the Internet and your volume control set to maximum (which you state is too low) run this diagnostic script:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
and select SHARE/UPLOAD. Then post here the URL it provides. Just the URL. That will give us a better look at your audio configuration.
No worries.
Newer version detected: 0.4.59git.alsa-project.org Git - alsa-driver.git/history - utils/alsa-info.sh

In order for the update to be applied, you need to run the script with root permissions.
Once the update is applied, just run the script again as a regular user.

I need the URL from the script output.
In addition to the output URL from running the script, please also provide output from running:
rpm -qa '*alsa*'
rpm -qa '*pulse*'
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf
here the info you guys requested sorry i had to run the script a couple times for it to take hope this helps and thank you

I edited your post.
What you gave was incomplete.
What you gave was also NOT what was asked for. I asked for the URL. JUST the URL.
Now please, if you can NOT get the URL, then paste the FULL output (and not just PART of the output) to a paste bin site such as New - Pastie

Your mixer indicates you have your speaker muted. Take a look at this:
Simple mixer control ‘Speaker’,0 [off] [off]
subliminalfix@linux-dvnr:~> rpm -qa ‘alsa ’pulse ’#1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
thanks again and sorry for the confusion i ha put the link to the complete output in the bottom of the post reply after i realized my error
thank you

heres the rest i believe
Ok, thanks for that. That looks correct, and its useful information in case it becomes necessary to update the alsa sound driver.
Take a look at your “speaker” settings in your mixer. Currently they are muted (as noted above).
i see what you have found although i am unsure which interface this is become an issue i have rechecked the pulse volume and it appears correct as well the gui on the task bar appears to be active still confused thanks for your time ???

I am not a Gnome user, but clearly the speaker volume is muted. You need to move that volume setting up using the mixer that is provided by Gnome.
In KDE this is easy to do.
should i change to kde it would be of little inconvenience as all i need is to be up and running with audacity thanks again
is this an issue in installation with kde?? i can reboot if i can use a mirror to change the ??desktop??:shame:
thanks for the help a little more to fiddle with then all should be well
Just follow oldcpu’s instruction - he will sort it if anyone can.
