In KDE wait for about a minute and then try playing the file. Also run alsa-mixer at command line as root and check out if your sound is muted. Don't depend too much on the GUI apps in KDE or GNOME to tell you whats wrong with your system. -- regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
