Hi John,
Try to check if your xmms has the arts plugin enabled... I would also try to stop the arts daemon at all and see if your player works that way...

The soundcard in the Dell Inspiron laptop is an ESS Maestro.
I assume that all other sound software works as expected?
Mp3 streams via
xmms, etc?
Hmmm. XMMS is no longer working. It races through the file and there is no sound. Sound effects with KDE are normal.

Hi,
Using SuSe 8.0 (previously 7.2) and the RealPlayer 8.
Only problem in the past was the processor clock rate on my
laptop. If
energy saving was not disabled it could cause the Realplay
to play at
the wrong speed.
Now there is a wierd problem. The "welcome" plays for only
0.2 seconds
and there is no audio. This occurs for all real media. i.e.
A video will
play for a frame or two and then stop - no sound. The aRTs
in KDE
control center - sound - server is set on at startup as
always.
The sound I/O was set to autodetect. I have now set it to
ARTS.
Realplayer is set to use native sound driver - as always.
Trying the other two sound driver preference options does
allow RP8 to
play video or audio but there is no audio output.
I had a look at the real.com community support (UNIX) site
and tried the
various posted suggestions that looks relevant but there has
been no fix.
I uninstalled and reinstalled RP8.
Once it worked almost correctly with only poor sound quality
even though
the sound quality settings were the usual (16 bit etc.)
But it did no last. Again there is no sound as described
above. A
fresh unistall, restart, install of RP8 did not help.
The only recent change was the installation of Mozilla 1.1
(previously I
had 0.9.8) for many months with RP8 working OK. and Java
1.4 RE
I suspect that the problem may be caused by a SuSe 8.0
configuration bug
or such but I do not know what to look for and I do not want
to
experiment !
Any suggestions please ?
