well i should have tried the aplay function before i blamed alsa :-p i tried it on a mp3 and even tho it couldnt play it it generated static like a telephone does showing there was data and sound. so sound works but for some reason xmms doesnt despite a recompile nore does mplayer. why wont they use alsa? i have -esound and alsa in my make.conf. any thoughts? thanks your your help :)
ps just a side note but when i uncommented the # OSS SECTION in that modules.d/alsa it generated a error loading modules, it couldnt load alsa, nvidia or netloader? was it. anyways it was kinda wierd lol but all fixed now. ===== ::: common sense? does it come with a manual?::: __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
