No, not BT but with a wired connection I do now have sound. BT can wait until I need it. The fix was to build a new system without any extra USE flags, i.e. non other than what's in the plasma profile. Now it Just Works. For completeness, these are the flags I removed from make.conf: gpg gpm gstreamer handbook icu postscript pulseaudio qml I can only suppose that some of those were fighting others. I still have quite a few package-specific USE flags; I'll review all those as well. Thanks to all who helped. -- Regards, Peter.
