(sorry if this comes out a bit long, but I'd like to make sure that I've explained everything).
On the weekend I installed Mandrake 10 (install, not update). Install went fine. I then booted into KDE 3.2. It hung leaving the Mandrake wallpaper in the background. I tried again, this time I got a warning about Knotify not starting and asking me if I wanted to disable it. I did and it still hung. I then went into IceWM, fired up Kcontrol and turned off the sound in KDE (can't remember how I came to this conclusion). So now KDE loads. That's good. The trouble is that there are a number of apps that now will not support sound. I have tried setting KDE to use OSS and Threaded OSS and, although it will still load fine, I still can't get sound from the apps I want to use. In particular I'm having problems with, 1) XMMS - This one is strange. With ALSA it will not play. With OSS it will continually loop the first 1 second or so of the song until I hit stop. 2) Mplayer - Will play most movie files fine, but if you exit half way through the sound will loop around for around 5 seconds before stopping. 3) SDL game (not tried others) - There is no sound whatsoever. I tried recompiling the projects I'm working on and they simply can't get access to the sound. I know my hardware is compatible (Sony VIAO laptop) as I have been using MDK9 on it for over a year. Anyone got any suggestions, fixes, etc? It's very frustrating have all the benefits of the new KDE and general speed of everything but with such a let down in the sound department.
