Which could mean that the Preferences need to be tweaked. Assuming that you have vlc-alsa and other plugins installed. "apt-cache search vlc" will tell u the available packages and "apt-cache --installed show vlc" will tel u what is installed. From that u can find out if anythin is missing. Also start vlc from a xterm so that you can see what errors it spits out. Can you play an mp3 from vlc. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
