On Tuesday 01 December 2009 15:23:22 and regarding: > You could try to check /var/log/pacman.log to see why "oss" was installed. > (If it was still installed pacman -Qi would give you this sort of info I > guess) > Flavio, It was installed on 11/6 along with "emovix, libmms, cdrdao, libmodplug, speex, libshout, mpg123, libasyncns, pulseaudio, wavpack and quanta". I'm not sure which recommended it as an option. The weird part is that sound continued working as normal until just this past week. From 11/6 through ~ 11/20, sound worked fine. Then another install or update evidently brought the issue to life. All is good now. Thank you for your help. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
