What's that phrase about assumption again? ;-) I'm sure Salvo has, but it is worth checking the PCM in the mixer as it kept being set occasionally to 0 for me on multiple mythbuntu boxes. Though if you don't need the features and don't have the time to set up jackd then why not remove. I assume pulseaudio as the default has some ease of use advantage or feature though as I know jackd is better for pro audio. It hasn't happened since I removed pulseaudio but I did that because it wanted polkit or dbus system-services and without polkit permissions or dbus system-services enabled sound didn't work anyway. I was rather glad when I found adding myself to the audio group meant I got Alsa audio back. Not sure why the audio group was empty by default, surely it should fall back to Alsa? -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
