As no other sinks are available (udev-detect is run and detects your alsa cards, but as jackd is running and has the cards open already, it correctly reports the alsa devices as "busy" and thus doesn't create sinks/sources for them directly), the "dummy output" is automatically loaded but obviously as the name suggests, the sound effectively goes to /dev/null. Can you post the error messages you get from and the commands you use to load the jack modules (basically step 4 in your list)? That should help to debug further. For the benefit of yourself and Tanu, the screens in Phonon should look a little like the screenshots here: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/KDE Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
