I've recently installed FC8 and have been trying to get the sound to work. The system-config-soundcard plays its tune but everything else is silent. Back in the day, you only had to turn up the volume on alsamixer but now when I try starting alsamixer I get the message " *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused." Does each application have to be configured to work with pulseaudio? Why does something as simple as sound on a PC require a Senior Tech to work in Fedora? For starters: (1) How do I get the mplayer plugin I have up and running in Firefox to include sound? (2) How do I get sound from xmms? Any roadmaps or even pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Jerry
