   Right, well I have a slightly different problem but the info I received from   
   David Hodgins a couple of days ago might come in handy. Here it is:   
      
      
   "Assuming kde.   
      
   First run paprefs, and on the "Simultaneous Output" tab, select the option   
   to add the virtualdevice.   
      
   (May need to restart kde, I'm not sure).   
      
   Right click on the kmix volume icon, select restore. Click on Settings,   
   then Audio setup. For each itom under Audio Playback, select the item   
   for Simultaneous output, and then click on prefer, till it's at the   
   top of the list.   
      
   Regards, Dave Hodgins"   
      
   Just a final thought. What graphics chipset do you have?   
      
   Regards
