gaurdroit's possible I missed something but I'm pretty sure I have the codecs.  it doesn't error out, or anything like that.  all the music players appear to play the file in realtime, just no sound.  flash, last.fm, dvd through vlc media player all work with sound.17:23
TheSheepyou use pulseaudio?17:27
gaurdrohow does one check that?17:31
gaurdroI google'd and I'm going to go with no.17:33

nikolamTheSheep, is there a way to lower default process priority , of processes that are doing instalaltion of packages, say through synaptic, etc.22:41
