Thank u very much motub.

I have adjust the volumes in alsa mixer and they are working. but the sound coming from ESS MAESTRO3 (PCI one) is very scratchy and destroyed. But don't do any thing for this becouse i have planed to use only Built-in soundcard in linux.
Secondly the alsamixer did not help to play sound from CD-PLAYER becouse the major defect was forgoten by me that I don't have CD-AUDIO CABLE (I don't know thw proper name of that cable. The cable that connect CD-DRIVE to soundcard. I am very sorry for this. for my this fault you tried for me alot. Thank you very very much.
I did not find any Out-put plugin from ALSA in XMMS, and I still don't know how start the aRTS in KDE desktop. and in KDE sound server their is still not any ALSA plug-in and it is using autodetect. The kde plays system sound. Where can I find Kmix.
I think thier is nothing remain. becouse built-in sound card started to play both files from HDD and fom CD DRIVE. OH one thing is remaining. How can I play VIDEOs in LINUX. In sound and video option (IN THE MAIN MENU) there is not any video player.
Again thank you very very much. Can you send me your mail address. If u would not like to send it me here kindly please send it on my e-mail address i-e moiez_qta@hotmail.com.
Take care.

Hi motub
Hope u will fine.
A good news is there that i have upgraded my system to REDHAT LINUX 9.0.
It is much better then RH 8.0. But my questions is remaining that how can I play Movies on my system. 2nd is there any methode to configure bootloader after installation completes. 3rd the KDE doesn't play any sound and in the begining it desplays a message that is "sound server fetal error CPU overloaded and aborting". So what should I do now? Kindly please tell me. Please motub.....

Dear Motub,

I am having a similar 'no soundcard detected' issue with my Fedora Core 1 installation on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop. One more problem I have is that the PC does not boot if the external floppy drive is not connected. As I use this laptop mainly as a fixed PC it is not a huge issue, but still ... I ran the 'dmsg' command and included it in this message:

Lightbulb CD-ROM Audio Cable

Hi there
If you are able to hear all sonds except from your CD, make sure that the audio cable inside your system is connected between the CD-ROM audio output connector and the sound card (for pci soundcard) or to the motherboard for internal souncard.....

Dear DMC_Australia,

thank you very much for the suggestion, but in my case i am working on a laptop computer with removable cd. And my problem is that I do not get any sound whatsoever. Fedora does not pick up my soundcard. I am working on a (rather archaic) Toshiba Tecra 8000 PII 366.

As you can see from the dmsg dump I pasted in my previous post, there are some things that do not quite go well. But I am not technical enough to understand what it means, much less fix it.

Thank you kindly,

Patrick

I have to discuss this at LINUX Software forum but I am discussing it there.
I have searched on the net for the movie player and I found to the XINE and MPLAYER. Now I am downloading them and I will try to compile them. I read the steps to compile the player and they are looking difficult. Is there not any RPM Package for this?
Thank u very much.

Yes, there is. Try checking at http://freshrpms.net/packages/. Choose the RH9 link, and then use the drop-down box in the upper right corner to get a list of Applications/Multimedia.

The problem you have is that RH does not include the library which allows encrypted DVDs to be read (I think it's called libdecss). They also do not include the plugin for XMMS to play MP3s, as you already know. This is because the de-encryption codecs are of "questionable legal status" and RH doesn't want any problems.

Once you install a full version of mPlayer from the RPM above, you should have no further problems.

Thanks for your concern; I had several personal crises here at home, but I guess everything is OK now. Sorry to have left you hanging that way.

pdmaesters, I don't know anything about laptops, but here are some links that might help you track down what's wrong:

Hope this helps.

The link works fine for me, but I edited my post, as the period to end the sentence was part of the link, when it should not have been. Maybe that was the problem.

Have you tried just going to http://freshrpms.net (the main page, rather than the /packages/ page)?.

I don't use Red Hat, so I don't offhand know where one gets packages for it, but a Google search has led me to the following sites:

http://freshrpms.net/

http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/

http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

http://atrpms.net/

http://www.rpmseek.com/index.html

Hopefully you'll be able to reach one of them.

Yes, of course, there are plenty. There's HelixPlayer, and Totem, and gst-player (the video playback module for GStreamer), and Kaffeine for KDE, and Ogle, and RealPlayer, and Xmovie, as well as several input plugins to allow XMMS to play videos. And that's just what I found by looking in the Gentoo repository package list.

However, since you have to be looking for the RPM anyway, what difference does it make if you're searching these sites for MPlayer or for Totem?

Have you tried putting "RedHat 9" mPlayer rpm (exactly as written) into a Google Search bar? You might also try going to http://shrike.freshrpms.net rather than the original site I posted.
