I posted this on the KDE mailing list and they reccommended that I re-post on this list. Current setup: Motherboard: M2A-VM has a connector for either ac97 or hd sound. I am using ac97 Sound output: line output from computer to tv. OS: Fedora 8 with all updates Tested for sound with the following: 1) When using kcontrol to test sound, it fails with no apparent errors. 2) When using aplay to test sound, it fails with no apparent errors. 3) When using system-config-soundcard, the sound works. 4) cat'ing a wav file to /dev/dsp works. In searching for an answer, one comment was made about pulseaudio causing problems so I removed it. Sound test 1 and 2 from above still fail and test 3 and 4 still work. I re-installed pulseaudio but it did not install as many rpms as the remove process deleted. Unfortunately, I know very little about troubleshooting audio problems, so any help will be greatly appreciated. I would have added configuration files but I do not know which ones would be revelant. Let me know what additional information needs to be supplied. Thanks, David -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
