My sound in gnome is odd. I don’t really get the whole linux
sound model yet, so I’m not sure I can describe this well, but here goes. If I run xine, my dvd’s have sound. If I run xmms, I have no sound, I
in fact get an error saying “Please check that: Your soundcard is
configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard” If I run aoss xmms
it works fine. (using
the oss output plugin for xmms) If I go to desktop preferences->sound, I have Enable
sound server startup and sounds for events both selected. If I then go to sound events and try to play a sound, I hear
nothing. If I run kmix, I can adjust my
sound settings. If I go to a panel and add the built in gnome volume
control, I get a little speaker in the panel, if I turn up the volume on it, it
automatically turns itself back down to zero immediately. My reason for caring is that I run a program with wine which
requires sound, it makes no sound and throws no errors, I’m
guessing it might have something to do with this. Thanks for any help. |
