No SOUND in Fedora 11 64-bit

Got SL up and running in F11(Leonidas) on kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64, Gnome v2.26.3, which was something of a struggle to find all the deps for 32-bit. (Not sure I am ready for the headache of compiling a 64-bit version just yet) FPS is fantastic on my system. Connection is stable and loads everything just as fast as it ever did on a Windows box. Only complaint is no sound what-so-ever in SL. Sound is functioning perfectly on the system, before, during, and after an SL session. I tried enabling gstreamer in the ./secondlife script, but it made things choppy and didn't fix the sound, so I reverted back. Can anyone tell me what I'm still missing to make the sound work? I'm comfortable in it, but i'm no linux expert, so I don't know what information is needed. I can certainly answer questions to help others help me though. PulseAudio is running on the system.

[user@localhost ~]# rpm -q pulseaudio
pulseaudio-0.9.15-17.fc11.x86_64

Any ideas other than switching to 32-bit OS or using a different distro?

System:
AMD Athlon X2 64 6000+ (3.2GHz)
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi Green
2Gb DDR2 800 MHz
750Gb SATA II (641Gb Free)
nVidia GeForce 8400GS 512Mb

Iv had this same issue for some time as well. I haven't messed with it much, as I normally just listen to my own music anyways.

Problem right now is I updated to the latest version of SL, and now it refuses to run. Getting 32 bit library issues again. The old version still runs, but SL wont let me log in with it any more =(

Linden labs in all honesty you really need a 64 bit binary download option. You cant keep running from it.
*EDIT*
I'm running Fedora 11 64 bit.

Well, first let me say running 32bit client on a 64bit machine can be hit or miss. Second, did you edit your ./secondlife startup script? go to where ever you extracted the client and edit the file "secondlife" comment out the following lines

#if [ "`uname -m`" = "x86_64" ]; then
#    export LL_DISABLE_GSTREAMER=x
#    echo '64-bit Linux detected: Disabling GStreamer (streaming video and music) by default; edit ./secondlife to re-enable.'
#fi

as for streaming media, that is even more spotty when mixing 32bit client and 64bit machine but you can try uncommenting the following, it works for some people.

#export LL_BAD_OPENAL_DRIVER=x

Sound in SL doesn't appear to require the Gstreamer option to be enabled. My understanding is this is only for streaming media, not general audio. It is an issue with finding the correct and complete set of 32-libs for Fedora 11 64-bit. I switched to Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, installed the 32-bit libs, and it works fine both with and without the Gstreamer option. Manually installing these libs in Fedora is a nightmare. I agree a 64-bit binary would be a great solution, though I've heard there are some issues with nearly all 64-bit OS's right now. The getlibs application run against the SL binary is a good solution, but it is for Ubuntu/Debian. Not sure if it will run under Fedora, but you might try it and see.

EDIT: Checked to see about this. It is a script for Ubuntu/Debian only. Maybe it could be modified to use on other Linux distros?

Close all your running apps, then open your terminal and type:

"killall pulseaudio"

This may or may not be of any use. There's so many sound issues related to Linux. I used to have trouble getting more than one sound channel working at any single time, and I found the way to get round it is to kill all of pulse audio's processes.

Linux + Applications + Sound = Potential bitch

Sometimes I wish it could be more simple. I'm not even going to get into the Ubuntu vs Windows debate. But that said, having sound functionality that "just works" is surely much better than having an advanced system which many apps don't even work with properly.
