Hi, maybe you want make this change: resample-method = trivial in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and reboot your machine , I have trouble restarting pulseaudio in F14 via killing the pulseaudio seems pulseaudio restart itself so executing start-pulseaudio-kde after the kill leaves sometimes some app without sound another issue what phonon-backend do you use I was using using phonon-backend-vlc but because of: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264292#c4 after following the instructions in that comment and reboot, after oa few hours the problem came back following the instructions again and changing to phonon-backend-gstreamer and reboot again, and the problem was fixed or at least minimized regards, Gabriel _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
