[gentoo-user] Sound not playing...

[Shawn Singh]

Hey all,

When I try to play music using XMMS a variety of things happen:

if XMMS is set to use OSS, it complains it can't open the oss driver
the same thing happens if I attempt to use ALSA.

if I configure XMMS to use ARTS the song appears to play, but I don't
hear any sound.

I've got the cable plugged in, ;) ... I'm running kernel version
2.6.15. I've got alsa compiled in...

I've checked that libALSA.so and libarts.so etc are on the system in
/usr/bin/XMMS...

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening...

Oh and I have compiled in support for my SoundBlaster soundcard.

Thank you,

Shawn Singh
