It seems to be something with aRts or so. Please do a test: _Don't_ log on to X. Login to console aas user (you can reach it by <ctrl> <alt> <F2>) try as follows: $ mplayer -vo none some-sound-file Sound? $ cvlc some-video-file Sound? $ aplay some-wav-file Sound? You can adjust soundsetings by running $ alsamixer and tune whatever you want. Elimar -- Learned men are the cisterns of knowledge, not the fountainheads ;-)
