Recent -Syu, lost all sound and codecs

All my media players say i have no codecs, and when i go to configure sound from the gnome panel i get:

The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.

Any ideas?

Re: Recent -Syu, lost all sound and codecs

I'm not a Gnome user but ... if you are using Alsa you can go to the command line and type: "alsamixer" to see if you get any response.
If you do not, as in it is not installed, then re-install it and add the sound steamer and give it another shot.

Hope this helps.

edit: also type "lspci" see if your audio device is found.

Yes, but the "pops" and "cracks" may be related to line noise on the speakers.
You need to determine that the audio system is recognized after you boot.

check if the sound modules are loaded (snd*), and check to see if your user is in the audio group
