Yeah, I understand. However, it seems kinda dumb that I have to turn off jack and switch to some other sound server, be it aRts or ALSA or whatever, to get sound in my browser. The funny thing is that lmms actually sounds better using KDE's default sound server than it does in jack (so I guess I don't have jack configured right yet--I just followed the settings in the article). > Arts has also been depreciated, and should not be used anymore.

I guess what I'm trying to achieve is to use jack (once it's configured correctly) for the "serious" audio work and still have sound in my browser or mplayer without having to change my settings. -- Peter Pankonin, digitalcrucible There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
