Re: Annoying sound problem in Woody
ok... I am running Gnome 1.4 with esd. When I unchecking 'Enable Sound
Server Startup' in settings>Multimedia>Sound, I can now play wav files with
Xmms. However, what I don't understand, is why am I not having sound in
Gnome (i.e. when Gnome start, when I receive I message with Balsa, etc.)
when I check this option. Is these an alternative to esd? Like I said in my
first message, all those sounds worked fine when I was using Gnome in
Progeny.
Thanks,
Sébastien Plante

You have gnome running? Most likely, esd has taken over /dev/dsp. See
whether 'killall esd' changes the situation. If this is the case, you
can solve the problem by:
a) Only using esd compatible software (xmms, for example, can be set to
use esd for output)
b) Not running esd. You can either just uninstall it os tell Gnome not
to use it. The latter is done by unchecking 'Enable Sound Server
Startup' in Settings>Multimedia>Sound.
