IRQQ Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Hello For some odd reason when i try to play an MP3 in XMMS 1.2.10 it just stays idle. I can get the Play files box to appear but when i select a file it just goes back to XMMS and stays idle and when i click the play button the Play file box just reappears. I have Nforce 2 audio which works fine. PS ive only being using linux for 3 days Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 See if it works as root. Open a terminal and su to root and type: xmms See if it works. If it does, try renaming the .xmms folder located in: /home/username/.xmms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRQQ Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Dont worry i fixed it by installing the XMMS on the mandrake CD. The one i had before was downloaded. Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pipplo Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I had the same problem and it was because xmms was being called by the gui using "soundwrapper xmms" Stil haven't figured out whats causing that, not quite sure what soundwrapper is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 soundwrapper is a way for applications that uses sound to be rerouted to use arts (the sound daemon for KDE) before going into the sound driver. This way, multiple applications that uses sound can be run at the same time (i.e. hearing those warning signals in gaim while playing your favorite mp3 in xmms). This is useful if you have a soundcard that doesn't support multi-channel sound sources right from the hardware (or if the linux sound driver for that hardware doesn't support multi-channel).

NeoXP Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I think I've got the same prob, but I did'nt figure out what the problem is. So if anyone has some suggestions........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Baller Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I have a similar problem with MDK 10ce. I installed XMMS from the cd at install. It worked for about a day and now it just freezes when I try to play any music. I can kill it just fine but I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

NeoXP Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I've solved it, at least it is working now just fine (don't know my solution will cause other probs). I've edited the properties of the XMMS icon, I deleted the command soundwrapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnubie Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I've solved it, at least it is working now just fine (don't know my solution will cause other probs).

spiedra Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Some sort of bug with xmms and MDK 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emetib Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 this is what was up with my xmms in 10community. with my module, snd-intelx80, the sound would be choppy while playing ogg files as a user, not as root though. when i switched the mod to i810_audio, everything was fine. the problems was the nmap selection in the options, preferences, sound driver. i had to click on configure, and then deselect the namp option. (i'm not in 10 now, so that's from memory.) i did drop a bug report to mdk bugs to tell them about this, the reply of mine is what they suggested. so i don't know if another bug report is needed.

I've edited the properties of the XMMS icon, I deleted the command soundwrapper. Thats what i was trying to get at. Now that I look at it my post didn't explain that at all did it! haha.. anyway, after updating from cooker it works fine with soundwrapper in that command.

wbit Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 You should go to preferences and change the audio device to als alsa I think... I'm in school now, but I'm sure it is something like that because I had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
