Hi to all,

This is my problem:
after putting kernel 2.4.18 on my machine, it appears that everything goes OK with the sound (I have a Creative Sound card and the system recongized it and installed the EMU10K1): when I'm testing the card I can hear very clear those 2 short musical themes.
But, when I try to play some audio-CD or, some mp3's with no matter what player (xmms, ...) nothing - but NOTHING happens; I mean I press the "Play" button and nothing moves in there, no sound emerges from the loudspeakers.
Can someone help me with this ?

Thank you,

Bobo

Maybe you need an xmms plug-in? I am using a 2.6 kernel and alsa compiled in. In xmms I am using the OSS Driver 1.2.10 [libOSS.so] as my Output Plugin. If you change this setting it may solve your problem.

You should at least try the oss, alsa and arts plugins. I'm using the arts plugin and everything is fine.
