I have seen a few posts on this topic but none seem to solve my ALSA problem with my mobo (specs in sig).

I've followed every post I could find on this problem and I can't get it to work with xmms or any other player for that matter. The alsa server does run find (works in gamix and alsamixer) but when I try to play any sound file in xmms.....
using the libALSA.so output I get "couldn't open audio" and when I try to normal oss lib it just hangs and does nothing.

here's and lsmod | snd out...

thanx for your help.

Ok, it seems to NOT work in xmms. I can play audio in totem movieplayer but that's it.
Also, I hear that nasty buzz sound in the background. This seems to be a popular problem on these boards. It was fine in windows XP but under linux it's nasty
