Re: FC4 sound problems

James,

Thanks. But I still have the same problems. XMMS can play it but it keeps stoping the songs.
Hence, what I really need is to have the sound system working ok. The same machine with SuSE 9.1 works just fine.

I have a gateway P4 box with FC4. The sound is onboard Intel 8280 AC'

Use a different driver? Alsa? Which one?
    

This is a Frequently Asked Question.

I'm assuming that normal sounds play just fine, but CDs don't. In that
case, your computer probably doesn't have a sound cable between your
sound card and the CD drive. Install xmms, and from the menu, choose
Options -> Preferences. Look under Audio I/O Plugins and Input plugins
for CD Audio Player, and choose Configure. Then choose Digital audio
extraction.

See if that helps.

Hope this helps,

James.
