Strangely, I have it working with my SBLive Player, and some other people have trouble with it. You may want to kill it, or to remove it at startup (with KDE control). Try killing it to see if you have sound. BTW, 9.1 RC2 is now very outdated (probably 99% of packages have been already updated. If you want to try, I recommend you to install it and then to update to the latest cooker, or to download the arborescence (won(t take much more time than updating the whole distro). Eric Eric
