Hi SUSE 10.0 retail default install Kde default install all updates via "you" are done I have spent hours on the kde site, amarok site. Faq and help but no luck sound works fine when i use cd players and xmms sound works in amarok if I manually reset kmix pcm every time Where can I fix it so it does not get changed? thanks Tom
