Reply-To: Hiya. I'm having problems playing sounds on my pc. First I'll explain the problem then I'll give some background data. I can play music cds fine, but if I try to use play, xmms or mpg123, it freezes my system and I have to reboot. This problem just started today when I upgraded my motherboard. With my old MB, xmms and play worked fine. When that MB failed, I grabbed an old p100 pc I have and switched out all my HDs and cards into the p100 box. Again, everything worked fine. Then today my Abit BE6 II MB arrived so I hooked everything upto my new MB and rebooted. Now if I try to play any sounds aside from music cds, my system just freezes up .. no errors or anything. The only thing I can do is reboot. I'm using a Diamond Monster MX300 with the driver provided by Aureal. Kernel 2.2.12 Debian 2.1 Again, the only thing that's changed is my MB.
