I have now after following ChistophE's suggestions. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I still get nothing when attempting to play something. But warnings |
| 10 |
and erros that is. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have an XMMS player on my kde menu. It just doesn't work but |
| 13 |
quietly no warning etc. (Also it is so tiny I can hardly see it.. and |
| 14 |
seems no way to enlarge it -- I use a large desktop resolution) |

It was set to autodetect .. I changed it to alsa, but shouldn't that select |
| 30 |
alsa anyway? Soon as I changed it, I immediately got this waning |
| 31 |
dialog box: |
| 32 |
Sound Server informational message |
| 33 |
Error while initializing the sound driver |
| 34 |
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device) |
| 35 |
The sound server will continue using teh null output device. |

I did install alsa-utils and ran alsaconf. /etc/modules.d/alsa looks |
| 45 |
like this: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss |
| 48 |
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss |
| 49 |
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |

| 54 |
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx |
| 55 |
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx |
| 56 |
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Should the oss stuff be there? |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I've put alsasound into run level 3 and rebooted. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
On starting kde I still get a dialog message about the sound server |
| 63 |
being unavailable. No play tools work. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
(lsmod output at the end) |
| 66 |
|
