A little addition to the above re the sound for DVDs, and poossibly for 
CDs which I don't play, in 10.1:

for an unknown reason, on boot-up the slider for the PCM control is 
always set to 0. Before playing a DVD (?CD) go Start/Yast Control 
Centre/Hardware/Sound/Other (bottom RH) and select Volume then adjust 
slider. I have both PCM and Master set to 95% as an example.

(I haven't confirmed this yet but I suspect that after I have watched a 
DVD and exited Xine the slider also returns back to 0 but, as I said, I 
have yet to test this feeling.)

If anyone knows how to make the PCM slider stay at 95% on boot-up please 
let me know, thanks. (This problem was not in v10.0 or earlier versions.)


Cheers.
