Sorry, I did not explain very well. I tried Gutsy on Virtual Box
before deciding to install it. At first I had no sound, but I
did something that got it working. Of course, I have forgotten
the details now, but I seem to remember that something that
defaults to mute had to be unmuted. So I know that it should
work. Oh well, more searching!!

Make sure both master and pcm channel is unmuted. I just lost sound on
my system. Turned out that PCM was muted (but not master). Right click
on kmix and check if anything is muted, then look at the mixer.

Thanks, I have sound working now. One of the switches which I
thought was on was in fact off.

So I have sound working now, but I have another problem. I was
trying to play a music CD without any success. Kaffeine simply
crashed every time. Have there been any problems with Kaffeine
on Gutsy please?

I've got Gutsy booted at the mo, and have never tried Kaffeine before
(normally use Kscd), but Kaffeine is working fine, no crashes. A window opens
which asks what I want to do, when clicking on the play audio cd box, which I
ignore, and press cancel, and the CD is playing some Chemical Generation
stuff at the mo.

Nigel.

btw: glad you got the sounds working.
