Need more information I think. I suspect that the xmms uses the os emulation and you may not have that set up (does /dev/dsp exist and does it point to an existing /dev/file?) I thought that the 2.6 kernels no longer use /etc/modules.conf but some other file. Have you tried plugging the output phones into one of the other jacks? I found on my intel sound that the sound was piped out of the "wrong" output jack. The "running too slow" sounds like either it is playing the wav file at the wrong speed (eg a 44100 file at 22050) or playing a stereo file at mono. Which wav file is it? Is it a CD wave file (try using aplay -f cd if it is) or some other random wav file? Looping does not sound like an alsa problem. > Sam > ----Previous Message---- > > I've been working on this for a while.

I do not like artsd It seems to get in the way more than it helps. But that may just indicate my ignorance. > > cd's play fine, but that's probably not a surprise. uh, what do you mean cds play fine? If the cd is being read from the disk into memory and then played out over the soundcard then that indicates that everything is working.
