Hi: I couldn't make the onboard VIA sound work, so I installed a Creative PCI soundcard additionally (Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371). The card appeared in systemsettings -> Multimedia. I shifted it up in the Output Device Preferences and it works like a charm. The VIA chipset sound still doesn't work. I don't think that this has very much to do with KDE 4.2.2 - I'm suspecting one or the other the 2.6.26-2 kernel module. When I got time I'll install another, earlier kernel or maybe I'll compile my own. The weird thing is that my last kernel is from June 21 and this problem only appeared in the beginning of July. Maybe that's what's called a software timebomb ;-) Cheers, Eike
