Dear all Not a life threatening problem I admit, however when playing mp3s in the background things seem to go a little smoother somehow. When playing a list of mp3s using XMMS (nice winamp clone!) everytime (between tracks) I get the error 'Couldn't open audio' please check that: 1) You have the correct output plugin selected 2) No other program is blocking the soundcard 3) Your soundcard is configured properly 1) Now, as far as I can tell my output plugin is correct (OSS driver 0.9 [libOSS.so]) since it plays fine and, after dismissing the dialogure box and pressing the forward to next track button, continues to play fine until the end of THAT track - when the error comes up again! Plus the fact that other o/p plugins available do not work at all. 2) I have no idea whether another prog is blocking the soundcard.. I have system sounds enabled, but..... 3) And as for my soundcard, I have no idea whether it is configured properly since it was done automatically it seems, however, again, I have no problems with anything but XMMS in this regard, so my first thoughts were NOT to change these settings. (I am running the PCPlus mandrake 7 linux install.. with AMD 600 Vibra128 PCI sound card (creative).) Anyone had a similar problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
