Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_41_Beta_Release_Criteria#working-sound release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.


Description

This test case tests whether basic sound playback is successful.


How to test

  1. Ensure your hardware is correctly connected so you ought to be able to hear sound: i.e., you have speakers or headphones connected to the speaker output on your sound adapter, or a receiver connected to a S/PDIF output.
  2. Open the sound settings (in GNOME, open Settings -> Sound) and verify that your output sound device is selected (usually called Speakers, Headphones or Line Out) and it has a reasonable volume level (it should not be zero, i.e. muted).
    • If your system has multiple sound devices (like a sound card and also a graphics card which can send audio to a monitor), you might need to select the preferred sound output device manually. But at least some output device should always be selected by default.
    • For some sound devices and in some desktop environments, you might also need to choose sound profile (like Digital Stereo (IEC958) for S/PDIF) and other attributes.
  3. Verify that you can hear sounds. If there's a Test button in the sound settings, use it. Otherwise play e.g. some music or perhaps a YouTube video.
  4. Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again and log in to the desktop
  5. Run the default desktop media player (in GNOME called Videos).
  6. Play some music (e.g. the one linked above) or a video in that media player. You should be able to hear the sound playing. You should not have to adjust any default volume settings in order to hear the sound.
    • Be aware that only open multimedia codecs are supported by default.
    • A failure to play video is not a failure of this test case. This is only about sound playback.

Expected Results

  1. You should be able to hear the sound playing. You should not have to adjust any default volume settings in order to hear the sound.
  2. When testing GNOME, please report all failures to the GNOME tracker: GNOME Settings, GNOME Videos.
