There was a recent thread on a problem with xmms in which no sound was heard, and the files were playing at high speed, as if the diskwriter plugin was selected, though alsa or oss are.
Now I find I have the same problem in SuSE 7.3. But CD's play fine with Kscd.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my Philips usb webcam, which I installed a couple of days ago: it comes with a built-in microphone. When I launch kmixer now, I only have the usb-mike. All other devices are gone.
hi, i was the person that had the problem. like you said, the audio module of the USB webcam is conflicting with the soundcard. during bootup, the system loads "audio" for the usb-uhci module (lsmod confirms this). so after that loads, xserver is blocked from loading the real soundcard. in my case, the Volume test in YaST->Hardware->Sound works even when the audio USB module was loaded. the easy fix is to "rmmod audio" after bootup. anyway, does anyone know of a better way of doing this? can i edit modules.conf or something so the audio module of USB will not be loaded at startup? -- thank you very much, xiaolei
