Look at the Pulse Audio web site and try running it as a system wide daemon. I haven't done this yet, but believe it will serve the purpose. I share this desire with you, btw, so if you try to reconfigure pulse audio for daemon mode, please report on how that goes for you. > > I ran alsamixer, but the only device it sees is the microphone. no > speakkers were presenti nthe display. > Do you have /etc/modprobe.conf? I expect you do not, as Fedora is moving away from that. You may need to create this file. An example from one of my systems follows. Also, what does aplay -l show? Are the device drivers for your various devices loaded? Do you see them when you do lsmod? Here's a snip from my laptop's /etc/modprobe.conf. It guarantees my usb headset will always be hw:1, and my Echo Indigo will always be hw:2, for instance: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-hda-intel index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-card-1 index=1 options snd-usb-audio index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-indigo options snd-card-2 index=2 options snd-indigo index=2 Janina
