I had a lot of intended help from the PCLOS forum, but nothing worked. I was interested in your posting of the dmesg command. I tried it and got this: [doug@Linux1 ~]$ dmesg | grep audio usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio That has nothing at all to do with the HDMI output on the GeForce (NVidia) card, nor anything to do with the on-board sound that works fine locally. It refers to a web-cam with a mic that I have connected to the usb port. My kernel is 3.2.18, (32 bit) the latest available for this distro. If you have any ideas, I might go back and mess with it a little more, but I really just want the HDMI output to watch video on my TV set, and I can do that in XP. It's just a pain! Oh--one other thing: I absolutely refuse to get involved with Pulse Audio. I have lost two very bad bouts with it, and I refuse to go another round! --doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
