Need help with sound issues in Unstable

el zilcho · 01-30-2006, 08:41 PM

I'm experiancing problems with sound. Movies in totem and songs in xmms play fine, but nothing else has sound. There are no system sounds or sounds when playing files in firefox. Can anyone help?

Can you post the output from the following command: ps -ef

Here's the output. Also, I noticed sound doesn't work in XMMs either.

In XMMS, go to Preferences (Ctl + P) and tell me what it says in the Output Plugin section.

el zilcho · 01-31-2006, 06:02 PM

It's OSS Driver 1.2.10 [libOSS.so].

int0x80 · 01-31-2006, 06:34 PM

Try switching that to eSound.

Your /dev/dsp could be named different than default and XMMS could be configured for some weird reason to use a different one such as /dev/dsp1.
