When I first installed Fedora on this laptop(it was the first distro I'd used on this, other than windows), I wasn't used to sound problems. Ubuntu always was fine for me on my old laptops, so this was new. Salmon sparked me the idea after giving me a youtube video when I made a thread about my sound being low all the time, so here is my text guide, video on bottom.
I had this problem recently, and someone on HF IRC gave me a video to it. I'm going to do a text-tutorial on how to fix this, and then I'll include the link to the video afterwards.
This happened to me, no idea why. I thought it was because I'd used gnash and it messed me up, but then I uninstalled it and used Flash, and nothing. So I reformatted thinking I must've done something wrong, still nothing.
Anyway enough about me.
What you need is:
Short list
Open up terminal through Applications > System Tools
Type in 'alsamixer'
You will get this:
Notice on the top right 'Sound Card' 'F6'
Tap F6 and you get to this menu
-- Sorry it comes up with for me
0 HDA Intel
That's my sound card, it was using a temporary one, or something, or maybe not and it'd just been messed with from the install, anyway select that one if you have it, or something that looks like that
--
NOW.. you get here
Turn everything all the way up except for PCM and Front, they change when you do the actual volume, test it out.
--
That's ithmy:
You can probably mess around with this to see what the initial problem was, if you want
