I had a very similar problem in 10.0. With the TV card the audio would stay off till I started Kdetv. When I closed the application the sound would stay on. The only way I could shut it off was restart my computer. In 10.1 it seems to work as it should. When I close down the TV app the audio goes off.

Thats why there are switch on > microphone to swith it of. I don't think I have ever had a computer mic that had a switch on it. I've never seen one feed back through the system either. In any application that used a mic in Windows it has never happened. I really don't have enough experience with Linux to know for sure. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
