esd or other netwrok sound
 

Im trying to set up esound for network audio via from VNC tunneled throguh SSH. however
It is a Creative Sound Blaster Live
Sound works with Alsa, I just can't start ESD
Any better options?http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...post&p=2789754

Try loading the modules "snd-mixer-oss" and "snd-pcm-oss" which should enable alsa to emulate /dev/dsp.
You can find them in modconf under /kernel/sound/core/oss

If that doesn't work, you can try apt-getting alsa-oss and running "aoss esd"

Bingo that worked. Thanks a lot!

How?
 

How did you get that to work. I am new at linux and I wanted to do the same thing. Using VNC through a ssh tunnel to get sound from the host computer.

Thanks

Bloomer, are you talking about the no /dev/dsp problem or using esound

Esound. or whatever to get work. I have not been able to get anything to work yet.

Have you tried starting the esound daemon?
the command is
If you did what was the output

Esd
 

I typed in ESD it beeped and then just went to another command line. Do you happen to know what I would type when i connect through the ssh tunnel?

just type it in an ssh shell, I think. I saw an article , Ill find it.
The beep means it started successfully. Here is a quick howto I found using google, I read it over and it seems it should work.

Scroll downt where it says XMMS Remotely....
Then look where it says using esound over ssh
Math is the name of the remote machine in the example.
Alternatively to configuring apps to use esound, you probably, note I say probably, can use the KDE sound system and set it to esound.
Hope this helps
