If your audio hardware previously worked with vlc or mplayer, then it is still compatible. What has likely happened is that the new video card has been interpreted as an audio device, and the order of your audio devices has changed because of device discovery during boot. So the audio output that used to go to your MB audio hardware is now going to the audio output on the new video card. Try aplay -l to see your list of audio hardware. Once you have that, play a wav to your MB audio by using aplay -D [name of MB audio device] [wav file name] If this plays, then it is the ordering of devices that is at fault. The best way to fix this is to use the pavucontrol application. You can set the default audio hardware for pulseaudio from there. There is a way to fix the order in alsa by putting a file in /etc/modprobe.d, but it is too complicated to explain in a post. If you search online, you should find references to it. Setting pulse to use a device will work just as well. _______________________________________________ rpmfusion-users mailing list -- rpmfusion-users@lists.rpmfusion.org To unsubscribe send an email to rpmfusion-users-le...@lists.rpmfusion.org
