So until recently, I really haven't used Linux for my personal desktop/laptop machine. I've used Linux for servers, etc, but just recently got the desire to make a full-fledged switch, trying to get away from windows one "purpose" at a time. So I decided I wanted to listen to some music on my Linux laptop, I figured this would be no big deal with my sound card as during the install it seemed like it found the hardware and played the test sound just fine. I installed flac support, mp3 support, and Realplayer as well. BUT when I go to play a wav or flac or mp3 file it ~looks~ like it is playing - meaning the levels on the EQ display are moving, the player is advancing through the song, but zero sound. I tried Realplayer, Helix, and XMMS - all with the same results. Does anyone have any advice? Running FC3T3. -Paul
