So I start X. I start xmms - its playing but there is no sound. I then run the sound card detector (System Setting -> Soundcard Detection). I click on "Play test sound" and volia, there is sound ... both the test sound and what I am playing on xmms. After the test sound stops, I clickon "Yes" I heard the sound and quit.
So, what does the "Play test sound" do and how can I have it happen automatically.
Thanks.
