Hi,
I tried playing a song using xmms, but no sound seems to come from the
notebook. It is a Dell Latitude D400, with Debian sarge r1.
The i810_audio module (for AC'97 audio controller) is loaded, and xmms
is using the OSS driver 1.2.10 as the output plugin. I tried changing
it to ALSA 1.2.10, but it did not work. Surprisingly, while I used the
Totem player to play a DVD, the sound was fine (could not run Totem to
play a song though, it ``quits unexpectedly").
The dmesg tells me:
------8<----------
i810_audio: Primary codec has ID 0
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode.
i810_audio: Resetting connection 0
i810_audio: Connection 0 with codec id 0
i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 2

lspci -vv tells me:

ANY pointers to enable the sound through xmms would be appreciated.
