Hi; This a repost from yesterday. I wanted to include the fact that on running Audacity I got the following message "There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer. You will not be able to play or record audio." I checked permissions in /etc/sound and /etc/alsa and they all seemed correct. I ran tvtime and Audacity in the root user account and have the same errors. I am flumexed.
