Hi! In my suse 9.2 i can't hear any mp3 or wma file.... The cd audio work fine. I have checked the soundcard and it works (for te time being plays all the kde sounds perfectly)... Xmms,amarok,noatun can't play the file.. I have noticed that all of these programmes recognize the file length of the track (i can move the progress bar of the song) but still when i press the play button nothins appears (like not having pressed it at all) What should i do?

You need to tell xmms to use the arts plugin for audio output. In XMMS, right click on it, Options->Preferences In the Output Plugin select "aRts Output" or select "Automatic Detection" Here's a general tip I follow when sound doesn't work in an app, try executing the app on the console like: artsdsp <program name> Usually that will do the trick. That's how I got America's Army and other games (bzflag, etc.) to play sound. -- Alvin Please reply to only this mailing-list. Thanks.
