Expecting that a non-specialist user will understand the role of each of these things and how they relate to each other is just unreasonable. If a DE provides a Settings dialogue for sound configuration, it should be able to deal with the *whole* problem in an integrated manner. The Display dialogue provides a good example (provided your video card is supported of course). poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
