You could try using a different sound output plugin in xmms. If that doesn't bring it up, drop down to init 3 and again do as Patrick suggested, restart alsa. Then back to init 5 to see if xmms will give you some output.
NOTE: after 'rcalsasound start' or 'restart', you will have to restart kmix (or whatever mixer you use) to get sound output. But I do not change to runlevel3 and back ??? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org ==============
Not usually something you have to do, you are right Patrick. This was just a method of getting KDE restarted, so that he would reset things there or Gnome. Sometimes they get hung up on something and it's just easier to restart it. Sometimes it can all be redone within, but sometimes it can't.
