Want to play mp3? Download mplayer rpm package and install it.

I have already compiled the mplayer source and also compiled the Gnome skin for it.
It works fine but there is no sound in fedora.The volumes too are set to maximum.Please help.I have also seen Alsa Mixer but found no problem.But what a hell is this .NO SOUND !!!!!
