ALSA/SBLive problem
I am having problems setting up ALSA on my Debian box. When I try to
play an OGG file using XMMS, XMMS hangs. When I try to play an OGG
file using alsaplayer, I get no sound, and alsaplayer moves through
the song at 30x. The soundcard is builtin on a Dell Dimension 4550,
but it is advertised as a SoundBlaster Live!
I have verified that the volume controls are set correctly in alsamixer.
Here is my info:
