I'm new to linux, and I'm using Hardy. I have Movie Player and VLC. Movie Player appears to have no problems at all. VLC has problems with sound that can be fixed by shutting down applications and opening up VLC again, or rebooting, or some random other way that I haven't figured out a pattern to yet. The sound definitely works though, it just takes a lot of frustration to get it to work. VLC also tends to hang and crash frequently.

I suppose I could keep using Movie Player, but I want Miro to work properly again..

If it's relevant I have two X Sessions running for dual monitors.
Also: Music and Movies Sound Playback is using ALSA as well as VLC is configured to use it. I have integrated sound on my motherboard and my computer detects it as HDA: Intel AD198x Analog.

Thanks in advance.
