<html><body> <DIV>Sound has never worked well for me in any configuration. That said, </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>> why is everyone so set on esd? I have K12LTSP 4.1 (based on FC2) I'm <BR>> using nasd and sound works for everything....flash, mozilla, realplayer <BR>> 10, etc. All I had to do was enable it in lts.conf <BR></DIV> <DIV>For me, nasd has serious lags with video (2-4 seconds is typical). esd doesn't lag, but does get garbled and doesn't work at all with Realplayer 10. Realplayer 8 does work with esd. Sound is a continuing 'thorn in my side'. I have MPlayer and this regularly crashes Mozilla. There isn't much happiness at NCS wrt sound/video right now.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>> >In K12LTSP 4.2.0 sound works ok at the thin clients if I choose ESD as <BR>> >sound system in lts.conf, set sound system in X to ESD and also in e g <BR>> >the <BR>> >options to XMMS. <BR>> > <BR>> >But: I have not managed to get RealPlayer 10 to make any sound.

Try RP 8 (or maybe 9).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sincerely,<BR>Dave Hopkins</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></body></html>
