maybe you can force a re-install of all the "sound stuff", particularly alsa,<br>the sounddriver's firrmware, and libasound? And I see lots of references to<br>a file "asoundrc" when people report sound problems here. Just search the<br>

<div>If I'm not mistaken, PulseAudio is the default in Hardy. I'm not at my machine now so I can't check it. I too am very interested in checking out XBMC, mostly for the potential to stream Netflix to it.</div>
