F8, Skype works fine for me with PA, both on the laptop's built-in mic/speakers and a USB handset. Rhythmbox, mplayer and xine work. But clearly they don't for others, who /are/ able to get sound if they take PA out, very odd. (Realplayer is the one app I've found that doesn't like it, but it seems to be trying to issue some hardware command to ALSA. Hmm, just had a thought about that...) -- imalone
