Agreed, I'm not 100% sure that KDE is to blame, but I updated everything, rebooted, logged int gnome, sound worked, I player with removing and reloading audio module. Sound worked fine in Gnome. I logged to KDE, got the message and sound stopped working both in KDE and in Gnome. That is why I made slightly comical title "KDE ate my sound card" and not "F*CK KDE, it killed my sound" or something similar. I'm just interested how to get sound back working again, any tips/tricks or suggestion are more than welcome, and I'll share back what I found out about this issue. So hopefully other users don't get bitten with by same situation. -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
