Oh, I forgot about how we're not really supposed to use 0.5. I installed 0.9.0rc3 now and the modprobe snd-intel8x0 worked. I also installed xmms-alsa-0.9-3 and now alsa shows up as an option in xmms output plugins. I also raised all the sound levels with alsamixer. However, when I tried playing music in xmms, it played but no sound came out. I see the progress bar moving and the graphical equalizer displays the music frequencies, but no audio comes out even though I made sure all the sound levels were up (in alsamixer and in xmms). And of course, my speakers are turned up.
I also tried doing /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound restart. That unloads all my modules so I have to do modprobe snd-intel8x0 again then, and I also do alsamixer again because it reset all the sound levels. I tried xmms again, but same thing. Any ideas? lsmod shows: Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-intel8x0 14240 0 snd-pcm 81024 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 14944 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 30000 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 4684 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 17856 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 5612 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 39400 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 6756 0 [snd] prism2_cs 60504 0 (unused) p80211 12136 1 [prism2_cs] (the last two are for my PCMCIA wireless card). -John On 31 Aug 2002, Mathy Vanvoorden wrote: > On Sat, 2002-08-31 at 06:39, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > So alsa (which was my first choice anyway), is now my only choice.
