I've had instances of XMMS crashing off & on. No big deal.
Problem: it crashes and you Skull & Xbones the bugger. (Kill it with CTRL-ESC), then try killing all the sound processes.
fine. restart xmms, but it doesn't play or there is no sound yet its playing.
K so now what? Well one of my lovers told me to go into the KDE Control centre... in there find your sound settings...its the first one under "SOUND".
now change something. I usually enable Network sound stuff... hit apply.
now uncheck it again & hit apply.
you can now restart xmms & the sound server *arts* will restart automatically. voila! sound!
odd workaround but shrugs... it works.

Heather,
I had a go at this - it works for the "killing", but I still have no sound on restart! But then I never had the sound in the first place...
Just a quick query - when I get the list of applications to kill, xmms appears FIVE times on the list! I only have to kill one of them, and the rest then disappear...is this normal, or have I broken it even worse than I thought?
