As has been said before: This list rocks! My problem is fixed. Solution -- run: gst-register-0.8 as suggested by Tony Nelson and Gérard Milmeister. Note to Tony: In my haste I overlooked James Walker's instruction "As root run" in your response; I ran it as my non-root account and that worked for me. It appears that it updated/created my: ~/.gstreamer-0.8/registry-i386.xml I first tried furlan's (flp) thing: rm .gnome2/gnome-volume-control That didn't work for me. And Oliver, since the problem is now fixed do you still want output from a mixer? The rest of this note is the text of the responses, and my original post is the last thing. --Bill R.
