From: Paul Cartwright on 4 May 2008 19:30 I have no idea what happened, but I seem to be missing sound. I am running Debian Etch. I just installed xfce windows manager, but I have another login that uses KDE. under KDE the volume control is missing, and I have no sound. what to look for ?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have narrowed it down some. realplayer and xmms DO play sound, Banshee, amarok, and movieplayer do NOT play sound. when I click on an AVI, totem starts, but locks up. vlc doesn't work either. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
