Try these commands: Code: mplayer -ao pulse /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav mplayer -ao alsa /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav That will have mplayer play a simple sound via pulseaudo and another directly to alsa (which would likely fail). Also, double click on that volume icon again, and under Edit->Preferences add some more tracks to be visible. Sometimes things like "headphone jack sense" and such need to be toggled correctly to work. Currently when i boot up my eees, "Front" gets set all the way down, for example. -Jeff -------------------- m2f -------------------- Sent using Mail2Forum (http://www.mail2forum.com).
