Hi, I've got Mandrake 6.0 installed and running pretty well (for a while now). The only real problem I'm having is that sound doesn't play IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. For instance, the KDE startup sounds play fine. I can do a: cat test.wav > /dev/dsp just fine and a: cat test.au > /dev/audio works as well. What doesn't work is sound from an MP3 player (the default KDE MP3 player) or a movie (AVI, MOV, whatever) in either KAction or xanim. Any pointers? ~Mike
