I used the yum approach to installing pulseaudio this morning and the setup was fine: Installed: pulseaudio.i386 0:0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017.fc8 Dependency Installed: pulseaudio-core-libs.i386 0:0.9.7-0.17.svn20071017.fc8 Complete! [root at k5di ~]# I then tried my VLC showing a very sexy short movie called Cheers. The picture is fine but absolutely no audio. I will now see if there are any updates for pulseaudio. I know there are a lot. Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org. PGP 4208 4D6E 595F 22B9 FF1C ECB6 4A3C 2C54 FE23 53A7
