Hi

Well that did the trick.

I nearlly fell over when I rebooted and got sound.

Trouble is none of the music apps work. Only Xine works which I find hilarious as I never got that to work before under any Linux distro ever!

Any ideas as to why KsCD, XIMMS and GRIp give no output?

 

Had the same problem justyesterday. These apps generally have a audio 
configuration tab in their preference to select which kind of audio 
system/server its using, like ALSA, ArtS or OSS (in XMMS at least). For 
some reason I had not installed the complete set of ALSA rpms and the 
apps were not getting ALSA, OSS or anything to work. I just installed 
the complete set, configured ALSA for everything, and voila, it worked.

I have the following list for alsa:

libalsa-data-0.9.0-0.14rc7.1mdk
libalsa2-0.9.0-0.14rc7.1mdk
libalsa2-docs-0.9.0-0.14rc7.1mdk
alsa-utils-0.9.0-0.8rc7mdk
libalsa-oss0-0.9.0-0.4rc1mdk
I don't know if this will apply to you... Just a thought.

BR,
