No XMMS music?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm running MDK10 Community now. Everyting's running quite fine, no real problems.

There's only one thing that still bothers me. I've always used KDE and XMMS, without any problems on earlier Mandrake (and RedHat) releases. Now XMMS doesn't play any music (mp3) under KDE 3.2 (all xmms packages are installed...), it even crashes sometimes .... When using Gnome, there's no problem at all with xmms. :huh:

I've checked the sound-settings in the KDE configuration panel, but couldn't find anything different than usual? (intel 855pm laptop motherboard, integrated soundcard ac'97).

Has anyone a solution, or some tips? :unsure:

Thx,

Slike

I have the problem also. Sound works fine, but nothing plays thru Totem or XMMS. Konq previews of mp3's work fine, but the multimedia seems to crash...including NOT going away after a logoff...when attempting to play music or movies.

ARTS is a piece of crap that the K team came up with to handle sounds from multiple sources at once, called a sound server. It has taken over your sonud cand. That is why KDE sounds work, but not sounds from non KDE apps. Just untick the Enable sounds in Control Utility and killall -9 artsd

Sound

On new installation, ALSA should works out of the box without the need to unmute sound volume. On update, one may loose sound if alsa driver has renamed some mixer elements, thus resulting in a bogus /etc/asound.state. In order to get a new asound.state, one has just to run the following command as root:

service sound stop; service alsa stop;

rm -f /etc/asound.state;

service sound start; service alsa start
