You just provided me with the key to the solution. For some reason, the default ~/.xine/config file that got generated by running the default installation of xine-ui contained the following lines: # /dev/dsp# device to use for oss output, -1 => auto_detect # numeric, default: -1 audio.oss_device_num:1 The "1" after the colon means that /dev/dsp1 should be used. I changed the line as follows, and now the program tries to use /dev/dsp, and the sound works fine: audio.oss_device_num:-1 I know I probably just could have commented out that line altogether to have the same effect, but I like to spell things out instead of relying on defaults. At any rate, all is well now, and thank you very much. > As for the KDE thing, I think you can disable sound in the control > panel somewhere. I'll look for it. It hasn't been all that important to me, but now that the other problem is fixed, it's time to take care of this one. > HTH, and sorry I'm not clearer - hopefully it gives you a starting > point, though.
