Subject: RE: [newbie] Esound (ESD?)
error
Hi,
am having the same problem. Can
use the CDPlayer ok but when it comes to system beeps and blurps it
won't.
I can't get xmms to reproduce any
mp3 either.
I had Debian installed and it
worked OK, i had to configure it all by hand, recompile the kernel and all but
it worked.
As mandrake did the trick for me
and it is a little different from Debian I don't know whta to do.
My problem with Debian was
that all the libs are opld and the newer programs couldn't
work
and my Internet link is so slow :(
that an on-line update is not an option.
Any help is much
welcome as my girlfriend did like KDE very much more than windoze but she does
want
to hear it beep and blurp :)
...
-f.
I never saw a copy of my last message so
please forgive if you got this twice.

Hi,
Thanks to all the help I have
successfully installed Mandrake 7.1.
I am having one small issue
though. I have a Sound Blaster Live and the
driver loads ok, I am able to
play CD's and I get the test sound when I go
to the
configurator.
I'm not, however, able to enable system sounds. When I
try to enable system
sounds I get an error like:
There was an
error with the audio server (Esound) (is this the ESD?) system sounds
have been
disabled.
What causing this?
Thanks again for the
help.
Joe
