When debian started doing the same, I decided to opt out of a clearly losing battle :-( I just checked : Trying to remove pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol does not disturb anything Trying to remove libpulse0 removes everything! In any case the hiss problem is for now 'cured' -- not sure how Some fiddling in the alsamixer which includes -- 6 channels -- turning off all 'mic-ly' stuff in playback -- turning on <something else> dont exactly remember My only question now -- apart from "What the hell does a mic in playback mean?!" -- should I file a bug with xfce4-mixer for having only a playback tab? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
