In the Output Devices tab of pavucontrol I only see "RTP Multicast Sink" and "Internal Audio" and I don't know what they are. My output cards are Sound Fusion CS46xx and VIA 8237 and the latter is not used, in fact it is disabled in BIOS but a bug lets in stay enabled, so I need to be able to specify CS46xx. It's getting embarrassing. I still don't see how the various elements interact: the hardware sound cards, Alsa, PulseAudio, and the media player. I really don't think I ought to understand how they interact to get sound out of my speakers. But I am completely lost. I don't know where to start and where to end yet I am determined to find my way through the wilderness. I appreciate all the help you've given me but I haven't seen the light yet. -- Erik. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
