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. =)
