Both of your soundcards have been detected. The capital "C" is "Card" number and D is "Device number" (subdevices of a card). > % aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav > % aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav > > But I still can not use the 2nd card to play music with xmms,... > because I dont have /dev/dps1 or /dev/sound/dsp1 for it. So I guess your xmms doesn't have any ALSA support. No problem. > $ ls /dev/sound/ > adsp audio dmmidi dsp midi00 mixer unknown I don't have a "/dev/sound/".

How can I have /dev/dsp1, /dev/sound/dsp1 ... > I took a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt > but it didn't help me. hw,1,0 maps to /dev/adsp0: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 12 Nov 20 17:20 /dev/adsp0 You may have to create it with mknod -m 600 /dev/adsp0 c 14 12 chown root.audio /dev/adsp0 The second subdevice of your second soundcard is /dev/adsp1, I think. You have two subdevices on this soundcard (see "ls /dev/snd/" output above. To make xmms use this device, go to xmms preference menu (Ctrl-P), locate "Output Plugin" and click "configure". Check the box "Use alternate device" and enter /dev/adsp0 in the text field. > 2. How can I play music without snd-pcm-oss (and not using aplay) You need ALSA software for this. There should be links on http://www.alsa-project.org/. There is an xmms plugin available which lets xmms use ALSA devices without emulation. I haven't tried them yet.
