Re: [newbie] Sound Is Impossible
I presume there must be a way to set Xmms as the player from the K menu?

Use sndconfig to detect or set it manually. This solved my problem with
sound from audio CD, using an old onboard Mobo. I also change from KsCD to

Anne Hi all, I've been following this thread for a little while now, and have decided to add my 2 cents to the mix. after reviewing the component list of this mobo I've discovered that it is very likely the sound card that is currently installed on this system is quite likely *not* going to work. It is primarily software driven. In plain words it's a *win* card. Am I right or wrong in this? -- daRmaTTeR R L U: #186492 When ever people annoy me I remember, Vengence is mine saith the Lord.
