I used to get sound from mplayer playing *.wmv files. Though nothing interesting I've noticed happened since, mplayer is silent now. The audio still passes the strum test on KDE's control panel, i.e. I can hear it. What should I be looking for? A crashed demon perhaps? I'm running FC6. I'm away from the computer running mplayer right now, so I can't tell you what the audio card is. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* TURN UP ONLY ONCE." -- Death
