I asked this on the gentoo multimedia forum to no avail. When I startx into gnome, I hear the startup3.wav file. Furthermore, I can use both aplay and esdplay to play any random .wav file, and alsaplayer to listen to CDs. However, I have no sound for events, other than the login and logout events. When I use the Desktop Preferences - Sound applet, I hear nothing when I click the play button with an event highlighted. Any ideas, anyone? I have Mandrake 10.0 AMD64 kernel 2.6.3-9 running on this same laptop, and everything works fine there. -- Guy Rouillier _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
