[LAU] Laptop sound problems

Hi, I set up my laptop to initiate Calf Plugin (Fluidsynth) and Qjackctl at login. When I then login, I get no sound from various apps. The preferences->Sound->test sound also produces nothing. Running Totem, just hangs - no output and the progress bar stays at 0. I've now disabled Calf and Qjackctl at login and it all works again. Can anyone explain what is going on? Output from aplay -l: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VC Analog [ALC269VC Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 (this is with it working, but it looked the same when not working) Thanks, Bill -- +----------------------------------------+ | Bill Purvis | | email: bill(a)billp.org | +----------------------------------------+
