G'day, well this is a clean install of Mandrake from scratch, I've done almost no stuffing around with it - I'm just beginning to find my way around, reading things and watching the pretty visualizations in XMMS :) So I don't think anything should be corrupted this early... But I tried, went to add/remove programs: it took me to a page which let me add programs, but I couldn't see any way to remove anything. Anyhow, I installed it again, thinking that maybe it would write files over the old ones.

I guess they have some > more work to do on the xine GUI :) G'day, I tried 'arts' [after trying a few ways I found you have to click on the word 'null', go left with the arrow keys, delete the characters to the right, and only then can you type in a new value. Oh, and yes, you have to hit enter before leaving the page or the change won't hold...] anyway, arts produces the same result - pic but no sound. 'xine --help' tells me the available drivers are null and oss, but when I tried oss, it just flashes on the screen for a second or so then disappears.

[newbie] no audio in Xine...?
G'day, as the sub says, I get no audio when playing VCDs in Xine. Audio works fine in XMMS, but in Xine I get video ok but no sound. Clicking on the config tool and then to the audio tab reveals the "audio driver to use" is set to "null". Well that would do it, I guess... Thing is, there's no way I can see to change it. Clicking all over the window does nothing; the help tab brings up a blank page. I've been wandering around the Mandrake control center, but it doesn't seem to report anything wrong. The sound chip is an AC97 onboard [a Matsonic MS9107C+ motherboard]. What other system details should I include to enable you to help me better?
