Testing sound from kcontrol fails (no sound) with no apparent errors.

[dcw]

Current setup:
Motherboard: M2A-VM has a connector for either ac97 or hd sound. I am using 
ac97
Sound output: line output from computer to tv.
OS: Fedora 8 with all updates

Tested for sound with the following:
1) When using system-config-soundcard, the sound works.
2) When using kcontrol to test sound, it fails with no apparent errors.
3) When using aplay to test sound, it fails with no apparent errors.

In searching for an answer, one comment was made about pulseaudio causing 
problems so I removed it. Sound test 2 and 3 from above still fail and test 1 
still works.

I re-installed pulseaudio but it did not install as many rpms as the remove 
process deleted.

Unfortunately, I know very little about troubleshooting audio problems, so any 
help will be greatly appreciated.

I would have added configuration files but I do not know which ones would be 
revelant.

Let me know what additional information needs to be supplied.

Thanks,

David
