AFAIK, artsd should *not* be running, but rather pulseaudio instead of it. And it should not get started automatically by anything, either. FWIW, I am having trouble to reproduce anything that was discussed in this thread, on this F12/KDE/64bit (fully updated). Sound works here without problems, pulseaudio is active, and systemsettings -> multimedia -> output device preference has only one stanza, "internal audio analog stereo" for all device categories. As for backend, xine is prefered over gstreamer. And it just works since F12 came out. Although the possible output device stanzas have been changing from time to time, automatically, as updates came by... I remember seeing pulseaudio and pulseaudio server on that list simultaneously at some point. :-) Maybe the problem has something to do with virtualization, or hardware type, or upgrading path (this F12 was clean install, not upgrade from F11). HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
