So, I must say that the seat socket can come unplugged. I found that my sound problems revolve around the fact that I have a sblive! card and had only one set of speakers plugged into the socket next to the serial connector. i.e. the plugin for the back speakers. I put the plug in the next socket over and I had sound in the xmms and games. My only excuse is that in the wrong socket I still had system sounds and couldn't figure out why I had no cdplayer sounds. Yes I do forget to watch what I am doing or need new glasses. Hope this helps someone having sound problems. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
