I had no sound at all until I went to Control Centre=>Sound & Multimedia =>Sound System , where I found "Enable the Sound System" was off. After turning it on, and setting the "Auto-suspend if idle" to 0 seconds, I get noises all the time, to the annoyance of others in the room. I know I could go to System Notifications and turn them off, but I'm too lazy. Am I the only person who finds the sound setup under Fedora very confusing? I've no idea what all the funny symbols mean when I go to KMix. Windows is so much better at this sort of thing. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
