Hi. I am new to fedora core 3. (previously used mandrake). EverythingI have/had a similar problem with my via card. This may not be the correct or perfect fix, but it works for me currently.
installs and appears to run ok except for the sound. I have an internal
via soundcard.
Using gnome xmms comes up with an exception saying that audio cannot be initialized. Games such as maelstrom and tuxracer have good sound. Xmms will work if you run it as root but then the games get no sound at all.
Using KDE xmms works fine but sound from the games is laggy and crackling. This happens whether or not other programs are active.
The soundcard detects and plays the test sound ok. If anyone can provide advice as to what is causing the problem it would be appreciated.
I do two things on startup
1. chmod 666 /dev/dsp 2. chmod 666 /dev/snd/*
Now that i look it at...one command woulda done the trick; but i added these two lines to my /etc/rc.local and i am able to play music and open my mixer now.
