I have my sound card configured (thank you alsaconf) and the mixer and everything works just fine, however I do have one little problem that I can not seem to find any information about. I run Xmms and it works great until I do something like hit to many keys on the key board or something like that in a terminal that makes my system beep at me, then my Xmms stops working and says that my soud card is not setup correctly, or somthing else is using the sound card, after a few minutes it then will allow me to play music again, is their any reason why it is doing this, and how to fix this?
I'm running Slackware 10.1 on a Dell Optiplex GX260.
I tried switching it a couple of times. It was on OSS, and I tried it on ALSA, esound, and I now have it on aRts, and I still have the same problem as before.
One thing that may help, I just realized that I'm only getting mono sound, but Xmms is set as stereo. It's comming out of the Left speaker only. I'm not sure if this is related but any idea's on how to fix this?
