I have this same issue.. I'm gonna presume you use Gnome because I face this under Gnome. (not a KDE person) Anyway.. as the story goes.. it was 1. Worked 2. Update 3. Stopped Working 4. Update 5. Working again what was the update?? AS far as I can tell it was gst-plugins and all the other things that comes with it. Now running gnome-volume-control will not spit out a bunch of errors upon startup and finally presents me with a mixer. (it used not to) As of yesterday, when it pulled in the new bunch of gst-plugins etc, it started working again. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
