For the last couple days I've had the impression that my music isn't getting as loud as it used to, and I was just writing it off to my cheap 99 cent headphones croaking. But things DO coincide with a recent kernel upgrade. That must be the smoking gun. That upgrade also incidentally broke my VMWare Workstation. Of course that was expected. But it broke it in a way that couldn't be recovered by re-running vmware-config.pl. I had to go find some new patches first to get it compiled again. Oh, well. Good to know that the kernel is muffing my sound; glad to have the info. Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
