Sometimes (just after turning on my computer) when I try to use xmms to hear some mp3s I got that the program is unable to load the plug-in and that I should check if there was an appropriate plug in installed and bla bla.. Result: I can not hear anything. It doesn't matter what I try on this session I got this error. Most of the times after login in/out everything works fine again. Has anyone experienced this? What is the reason? or how can I diagnose this strange problem? ============
Felipe, Are you using a motherboard with built in sound/audio? If so, that is part of the problem. The built-in audio does not seem to be able to handle more than one source at time with xmms. I think I am describing that correctly. I have noticed it also with the built in sound AC97 stuff. The best cure, get yourself an inexpensive sound card. You will be happier, your computer will be happy. Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.4 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
