I am a very experianced linux user, altho i have more knowledge of security, programming and administration, with less about audio and video.
I have a problem playing mp3's in suse 10, i was tried with both amaroK and juk. The control center->sound & multimedia->sound system will play midi but not regualt sound. I have never worked with sound in linux before cause it has always just worked for me.
Apperently there is a kde sound system that is dissallowing other programs from using the hardware directly? Does anyone have any info on this or am i searching a dead end path?
Any other suggestions? everything worked fine for the last 4 suse releases
oh yea, and from the menu i mentioned ealier, when i try to test a sound now, it gives me some of this(from kde crash handler on behalf of soundserver):

[CODE]
the only error in the logs that i can assume is related
Code:
linux modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting sonypi (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/drivers/char/sonypi.ko): No such device
and that may not even pertain to this problem...
anyone have some advice?
