I rebooted, and tried used aplay to play a sound, and it did not crash, though I still did not hear anything. So I tried launching into X using the stock nv driver rather then the accelerated nbvidia driver, still no luck with aplay, but xmms locked up the machine again.
I rebooted and tried again, with -almost- the same results, but this time, aplay gave me an error message (xmms still crashed the system): goo root # aplay /usr/kde/3/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/kde/3/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22254 Hz, Mono aplay: pcm_write:999: write error: Input/output error goo root # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-emu10k1 74192 0 snd-util-mem 1568 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-rawmidi 15584 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 4384 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 31044 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-hwdep 4288 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-pcm-oss 39300 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 67936 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss] snd-timer 12776 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 13624 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd 31692 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-util-mem snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-hwdep snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss] soundcore 3940 6 (autoclean) [snd] On Thursday 02 January 2003 04:52 am, Georgi Georgiev wrote: > Does it work if not running X?
