Hi all, I have a FC2 fresh installation. After the install, running system-config-soundcard gave a good test sound, and it seemed to work. Then I installed xmms-mp3 using yum. I dont remember if I tested the sound after that. After switching to KDE, I found out that most application that uses sound, except xmms, does not work. I thought this has something to do with artsd, so I killed artsd, and even went back to Gnome. It didn't help. So basically, here is what works and dont: 1. xmms works provided I chose ALSA on the output plugin 2. playing CD audio with something like kscd works 3. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
