Hi Bill. There was a discussion on this list a couple of hours ago in which someone rightly pointed out that PA gets a lot of undeserved flak for issues which aren't actually its fault - not to say that it doesn't have issues of course! It's often the case that disabling or uninstalling PA causes sound to start working which naturally makes one think that PA was at fault, but there are other layers involved in the confusing world of Linux audio. Anyway, other than defending PA which is clearly not perfect as yet, I'd like to try to be helpful! You say that VLC works whilst other applications do not. Am I right to assume that PA is running whilst VLC is working? If that's the case then PA is unlikely to be the cause of your audio problems. Certainly for me, if PA is running, no sound works at all but I know this is because of a misconfiguration with my audio card that I don't know how to fix. It sounds to me like your problem is in the application layer. What applications are you having problems with? What desktop are you running? Apologies if I'm repeating advice you've already had but I haven't seen any of your threads before and I'm just a user who's had a lot of audio problems over the years, not an expert! Here's a bunch of rpms you might try installing to provide full sound support: phonon-backend-gstreamer phonon-backend-xine (I've had issues with the xine backend so if you've got it installed, you could try removing it) phonon phonon-devel gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux gstreamer-tools gstreamer-python gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras gstreamer gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-base ffmpeg HTH, Chris. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
