you got the same hardware as me (I'm revision 40 thought with slightly higher number)... just different distro
heres how: make sure your on ALSA make sure you have sound (try with kmix or alsamixer) in xmms preferencences: enable oss output (important) with alsa as driver and oss as output in xmms, it will work it did with me. FOR mandrake users: to be on ALSA use drakconf: then in harddrake: click the sound device and click "choose driver". then, go on with the steps. |
Do you get any error messages? If so, you may need to change your permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer
Code:
chmod 666 /dev/dsp |
don't work mimithebrain

other solution?

/sbin/fuser -k /dev/dsp
alsamixer (check you stuff) xmms /home/mimithebrain/mp3/elvis/03_Blue_suede_shoes.mp3 fuser kill the one process bothering you. e.g. a startup welcome that hang and crashing your card. Make sure in kcontrol that ALL sound system notification is OFF is you sound is buggy. Do this by clicking "more option", "apply to all aplication", "Turn off all--", "sound". Try also (at boot) linux acpi=off apm=off pciacpi=off and stuff related to power management... |

your doing great!
so what was the process which was getting you in trouble hey? oh, by the way, disable ArtS, you must must must disable that buggy thing. It's worth nothing, not with a soundcard like you and me. it Jams it, but after reboot Java applet and xmms where working for me. (then, optionnaly try to redirect xmms sound to OSS as explained above. Mine is stuck there when I switch to OSS and back to ASLA.) There is not alsa options for me under xmms in preferences. But HEY, it works! This is not a question and i'm not complaining, I don't fiddle around with acpi and sound since I did that 'something' that repair it all but I don't know how to repeat! :D Everything from sound to power works like a charm, somehow... Every sound case is proper to his own computer and arrangement, possibilities are infinite, so EACH must be taken with TLC. aplay /home/mimithebrain/mp3/shania/up!/nah.mp3 [submit error] echo #? [submit error] |
I made sound and acpi work when I disabled apm and hacked my X servers config. Even arts work.
It's so beautiful!:cry: |
i installed a old sound blaster 128 and that work fine....
with suse 8x... i had no problem to run my onboard sound card |
what about the ol' card?
