Ok, then I'm stumped... unless there's something in Gnome that's creating a problem? I don't run Gnome (or KDE) for that reason. Did you try a "simple" program (like ogg123, mpg123 etc.) to output sound? I've come across sound/music programs (well, versions of them at least) that doesn't output any sound... Btw, have you tried a live cd (ubuntu, fedora etc.) to see if you can get sound? If you get working sound you may be able to copy the settings from that... Best regards Peter K
