And on using xmms, I discovered that it has OSS sound drivers selected. They work fine with me, but don't they stop working after 30 days until you buy a registered version of this driver? I can select the arts driver and the visualizer field starts jerking around, but unheard; I can hear no sound. So: What's that with the default sound driver OSS and its "durability"? How can I change to arts drivers?
Can't speak to the first question, as I run 3.0.3, but OSS is built into all kernels to this point, and has been the default. I'm told that Alsa will be the default sound system in 2.5+. Arts is the 'glue' which brings sound to KDE, as I understand, and must be on. So, one option is to ensure the alsasound daemon's being started (rc) and point all your apps at Alsa if you can. On the other hand, I did this, and my punishment for compiling the newer kernel is that I've lost sound. I DLed Suse's latest km_alsa & compiled, but no sound. Admittedly I used the - --with-isapnp=yes --with-sequencer=yes switches. Don't have time to troubleshoot right now, but this worked for Igor. - -- "By the time they had diminished from 50 to 8, the other dwarves began to suspect 'Hungry' ..." -- Gary Larson, "The Far Side" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj2sfh4ACgkQnQ18+PFcZJsvvQCdG0znJkzvAbpThCS/xshOukjy cE8An1aSwW4/qB93G/TXQpWMbfNP8VxP =6KFO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
