No sound in Fedora. Fix sound in fedora20

1. lets find the output sources we have.
$ aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Headset [Logitech USB Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


2. Now we know the card# and device#. I want to use Logitech as my default output source so let me test it by outputting the stream to that source by running below command.

aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav           #0,0 is card 0, device 0 for Logitech

3. Determine the index of the above source by running below command.

pacmd list-sinks | less            # don't run this command as root as you will not find any source. For me it was 4


4. Lets append following 2 lines in /etc/pulse/default.pa

load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0            #0,0 is card 0, device 0 for Logitech
set-default-sink 4                       #4 is the index of the source i got from step 3

5. Restart the computer and you will have your sound fixed.
