I have a problem that may be related to yours. When I play any video with
mplayer and I use / or * to change the volume I get this error message:

[AO_ALSA] Unable to find simple control 'PCM',0.

Load gmplayer.

Right-click

Preferences

Audio

Select "pulse PulseAudio audio output" from the list of "Available drivers"

Click OK.

Problem solved.

MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com


Also having sound problems here
Using
x86-64, KDE and vlc
2.6.23.1-49.fc8
vlc-0.8.6c-9.lvn8.x86_64
kdebase-3.5.8-5.fc8.x86_64

Distorted sound using vlc

Is it vlc, pulseaudio, ALSA, KDE causing the problem ????

At least 4 ways of controlling the volume
kmix - Does not show Master but responds to "Front" with image of a plug
kmix - Slider in Panel shows Microphone and does nothing
pavucontrol - Does things
vlc - Volume slider does things
K-Administration/Sound Card Detection does things too

mplayer does not distort but I much prefer vlc at the moment
kplayer volume control does link to pavucontrol!

Is there anywhere that explains the interaction between all the sound components ?

This is the only real problem I have had with F8 - very good, thanks everyone!!!!

VMware, Icedtea, mozilla-plugin-config, stablemirrors, KDM, KDE, kino (pulseaudio not supported)
realplayer10gold, Flash, Acroread, kmod-nvidia(update kernel hickup)

All working

John

I have found a fix for the vlc pulseaudio problem

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/7710121/out.ogg
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/103025
Just set Prefs/Audio/Output modules to Linux OSS audio output
Remember to either scroll or enlarge the window to see
the pull down menu !!!!!!!!!
