I have an SL5 system on which sound suddenly stopped working a week or tow ago. The CD player looks like it's playing, but nothing comes out of the output jack (yes, I checked the volume settings). The gnome-sound-properties applet crashes immediately when I start it. Have there been any updates to the sound system in the past few weeks that might have something to do with this? thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA [log in to unmask]
