As per Bob Doolittle's request I have added what I did to solve my sound issues to the Wiki: http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/How_To_Section#SRSS_on_Linux:_Getting_sound_to_work
> Gnome complains there's no audio device/mixer Yes. I still have that too. But it doesn't matter. The volume applet works nontheless. And also the volume controls in applications such as Amarok or Exaile work OK. > To do this I had to remove Redhat's gstreamer-plugins-good (file conflict) I didn't have to do that. But this might depend on the distro. I used both RHEL 5.2 and CentOS 5.2 and the appropriate repos for these releases. Might be that there are minor differences between 5.1 and 5.2 Did you install any MP3 player? Does the sound work in there? Regards, DJM.
