Pulse audio no sound in fedora 10

I made a very common user error here. My music files weren't playing in fedora 10. I thought probably pulseaudio wasnt working. So i went to shell and type pulseaudio &. But it said pulseaudio was already running

So after fiddling everywhere, i went to Multimedia -> Volume Control. The front left and front right sliders were upto 25 percent. I slided them to 100 percent and lo! I started hearing music.

Just a pointer for people who have the same problems. The slider in 25 percent gives me no sound at all (though i set the volume to max in my headphones). Make it 100 percent and try out if it works

Thanks,
Shyam
