Interesting. Where would that interface be located? > So if you reboot, sound doesn't work, but if you then reconfigure > ALSA, it does work? Yes, I just re-verified that. I compared lsmod before and after reconfiguration, and I believe all modules get with boot. I had some others loaded before rebooting - snd_seq_oss, snd_seq_midi, snd_seq_midievent, snd_seq), but that may have been effect of my fiddling. Right now (after doing alsaconf), aplay works without them. > You need to create an ~/.asoundrc file.

I created the ~/.asoundrc file and put into it a simple configuration, which seems to be just to redefine defaults. However, not knowing where my problem lies, I don't know what I'd need to define here. > That may be all it is, although the stock ALSA setup should at least > work. Does it work properly after you run alsaconf? Yes, but only after running alsaconf. If you refer to xmms, no. ----- Re. XMMS > > And no sound.

In base package, dpkg -L lists a lot of libraries, such as /usr/lib/xmms/Output/libALSA.so. In xmms, options, preferences, under audio O/0 plugins, I have a list of input plugins that includes Wave Player (livwav.so). If I select it, the Enable plugin get checked, but when I restart xmms, it is no longer enabled. As for output plugin, I have selected ALSA output plugin (libALSA.so). When I start xmms I get: Message: device: default and when I try to play a .wav file, appended is: Message: alsa mixer timed out But lsmod does not list libALSA. And #insmod libALSA.so reports it can't be found. And # insmod /usr/lib/xmms/Output/libALSA reports that "no such file", even though it's there.
