I've been looking for a new distro as I am a bit concerned about the future of Mandriva. Based on several things I have read here and elsewhere I decided to give PCLinuxOS a go and downloaded their FullMonty DVD.

I installed it to a spare hard drive but have been battling with sound. It will not play any sound form any web browser, system sounds and games and Openshot video editor all have work OK so the sound system is configured but no sound comes out form any web browser, Firefox Chromium or Opera. This time I managed to get onto the forum yesterday and have raised an entry but sadly no one has been any help despite it being a busy forum. I also tried their normal Live CD and it has no web sound either.
I just fail to see why things like this get through, sound is basic and for something like this to not work is bad. PCLinuxOS is not for me sadly as I quite liked the look of it. Sadly this kind of thing seems more prevalent these days and in a way I can see why Linux does not get looked on favourably by folks who dont have a techie background.
