Re: problems playing mp3.



i'm also having trouble w/ my sound card (just sent the email in fact =),
but my cd playing works fine.  it seems the cd doesn't go through the
sound drivers.  the drivers only control the volume level of cdrom played
stuff.

so its probably a problem w/ the sound config.  look in /dev/sndstat for
any problems.  in addition, check your /var/log/messages for anything
pertaining to the sound drivers (for instance, i get dma timeouts that
show up there).

if you need additional help, it would be helpful for the real guru's out
there (as opposed to me...a wimpy newbie =p ) to give them your sound card
type (the real sb i asume) and your irq/ioport settings.  there just might
be a conflict there.

hope that helps. =)
