No it wasn't that, or the XMMS plug in someone else suggested. I don't know what iit was but what happened was I decided to go back to OSS so I started by restoring /etc/modules.conf to the version that existed before alsconf altered it, tried to run OSS and that wouldn't install because of kernel incompatibility. So I tried XMMS again out of curiousity and it now works. I don't understand why, anybody any clues, out of interest ? Mike On Fri, 25 Aug 2000, Purple Shirt wrote:

The problem was I didn't actually have the card configured correctly. Apparently it takes less to play CDs. You might have to change interrupt or io or something. Your problem is not the player you use but your card setup.

as usual the alsa mailing list is great.

I've just set up ALSA in 6.4. Previously I've bee using OSS. I have a SB64 AWE Gold card. Everything works fine except playback of MP3's using xmms or kmp3.

How do enable sound for these programmes ?
