After escaping out the desktop sounds started and the Souncard Detection Utility worked correctly. XMMS and Rhythmbox are now working okay although XMMS still starts up first time with 100% vol but I can handle that now that the two sound outputs are equal. Although whilst playing back through XMMS and opening the sound controls produces some background interference so I'll stay away from that for a while!! I just wonder now whether I can live with 'Sound for events' or risk something going wrong if I turn it off :( -- Dave
