Hi there, Could any one explain this interesting problem? I have done a google for this nd am empty handed. I open XMMS and set alsa as the default sound? it plays one mp3 then hangs. Even if I let the mp3 finish so that the next in the playlist starts automatically. My version 1.2.10 from ayo.freshrpms.net (xmms-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr) Even if I start a GUI session as root it does the same. the sound card is this: [root@chadlap ~]# lspci | grep -i audio 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) and lsmod: [root@chadlap ~]# lsmod Module Size Used by parport_pc 26501 1 lp 12077 0 parport 36617 2 parport_pc,lp autofs4 22981 0 sunrpc 154149 1 pcmcia 20805 2 ipt_REJECT 6593 1 ipt_state 1857 2 ip_conntrack 40309 1 ipt_state iptable_filter 3521 1 ip_tables 16321 3 ipt_REJECT,ipt_state,iptable_filter dm_mod 55509 0 video 15813 0 button 6609 0 battery 9285 0 ac 4805 0 sd_mod 17089 0 md5 4033 1 ipv6 230273 8 usblp 12225 0 usb_storage 61449 0 scsi_mod 120897 2 sd_mod,usb_storage joydev 9217 0 ohci1394 34521 0 ieee1394 299929 1 ohci1394 yenta_socket 19137 0 pcmcia_core 50817 2 pcmcia,yenta_socket uhci_hcd 31321 0 ehci_hcd 34761 0 i2c_i801 8141 0 i2c_core 20801 1 i2c_i801 snd_intel8x0m 18181 4 snd_intel8x0 32865 1 snd_ac97_codec 67105 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 47861 0 snd_mixer_oss 17089 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 92233 6 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 28357 1 snd_pcm snd 52261 15 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9889 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9541 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm ipw2200 62157 0 ieee80211 19397 1 ipw2200 ieee80211_crypt 6469 1 ieee80211 b44 22981 0 mii 4673 1 b44 ext3 116041 3 jbd 68185 1 ext3 [root@chadlap ~]# The system sounds and audio CDs play perfectly and work flawlessly. The problem seems to only occur when I try play an mp3 in xmms. When I check the ps table there is an xmms -e, when I kill that it is fixed and I can play one song again. Here is another strange issue around this problem. If I switch xmms to arts then it plays but there is not sound! Could some please help out here! I am running the following config: Linux chadlap.teq.pinteq 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 #1 Mon Jan 10 13:50:10 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thanks chad
