For one user, the sound works perfectly, the other experiences 'skips'. starting pulseadio with -vvv gives the following output (edited) ----------------------- works ---------------- I: client.c: Client 5 changed name from "Native client (UNIX socket client)" to "ALSA plug-in [amarokapp]" I: module-volume-restore.c: Restoring sink for <pulsecore/protocol-native.c$ALSA plug-in [amarokapp]> I: module-volume-restore.c: Restoring volume for <pulsecore/protocol-native.c$ALSA plug-in [amarokapp]> I: module-alsa-sink.c: Trying resume...

There are no special files in ~/.pulse <LI>How can I increase the size of the memory block </UL> Thanks, Leo </BODY> </HTML>
