Not really relevant, but my experience is the opposite.
I had no sound at all until I went to Control Centre=>Sound & Multimedia
=>Sound System , where I found "Enable the Sound System" was off.
After turning it on, and setting the "Auto-suspend if idle" to 0 seconds,
I get noises all the time, to the annoyance of others in the room.

I know I could go to System Notifications and turn them off,
but I'm too lazy.

Am I the only person who finds the sound setup under Fedora very confusing?
I've no idea what all the funny symbols mean when I go to KMix.

Windows is so much better at this sort of thing.
