After google'ing, I found this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144769 Which had this solution: Edit /etc/esd.conf add ' -r 48000' to the line that starts with 'spawn_options=' The spawn_options line in my esd.conf now reads: spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -r 48000 default esd now works for me!
