I think sound is default set to zero to protect soundhardware and speakers, once you have set it it will be remembered between boots. If you run gnome or has it installed you can run gnome-volume-control and from there get all volume controls and there is probably a lot of different controls. Alsa mixer is the one controlling your hardware and PulseAudio Mixer is a software mixer which makes it possible to have different settings on different programs. PulseAudio has its own volume control program pavucontrol. My card had a setting called Beep which was set to max and made it make irritating background noises.
If you want to try and reconfigure lm_sensors you can start sensors-detect as root and let it step through all tests again, it is done the first time you start the service. If you want to see current configuration you can look in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors. It is possible that there is no sensor driver for your hardware.
Out of curiosity, are you running Photoshop inside wine? It could be that you have to install windows fonts inside wine so PS could find them. I am not using PS my self so I do not know the details.
I did try fiddling with the controls in the volume control thing, removed that pulseaudio thing completely, setting all to ALSA etc and nothing seemed to make it better. Hmm, I believe I tried enabling those sensors as Root and then rebooted, but they still did not seem to list anything. neo_cool guided me, and he does seem to know his Fedora stuff, but my puter setup either is very anti Fedora or I did do things wrong.
Yepp, I ran PS inside wine. I was told Gimshop might suit my PS needs better in an Linux environment though, so I'll have to try that out later. I did see others reported that installing Winetools and adding them "properly" faking the Fonts addon application got things to work better, but with not being able to drag-and-drop nor paste copied images into PS I felt mighty frustrated and thought I'd give Ubuntu a try instead.
The latest Ubuntu version did not at all get along with my puter setup however, puter got a black screen or a very colourful one with LEDs on keyboard flashing, when I tried to reboot/shut down puter, all times except one time, and then I am not sure if I did do something differently. And when I tried accessing the Terminal proggy in Ubuntu, then it just overall froze. Very curious and such a disappointment since I had heard nice things about Ubuntu's compatibility and smoothness overall. When I installed the previous Ubuntu version, there was only support for wireless networks, so the USB modem I've borrowed didn't cut it there. As I thought I might have a better wine-PS / *ix compatibility with Ubuntu.. but I guess I'll reinstall Fedora and then go back to Windows once I have ADSL again, unless Gimpshop really dazzles me.
