Hi, I got something weird that driving me up the wall, I have a Dell Laptop(Not by Choose) that has Intel 82801DB--ICH4 sound call, Realplayer works and KDE plays it nices little midi's when it starts. But, the one thing that driving me up the wall is XMMS, it doesn't matter is I select ALSA, aRts, Esound, or OSS. Nothing seems to work. I even download and try to compile a fresh very of XMMS so that I can see, it the rpm vs my sound card. Nothing. Please help.
