xmms on 10.0 Official

[sherington]

Hi,

 

This problem is driving me insane...

 

I have a fresh install of Mandrake 10.0 Official Edition from the Powerpack DVD, and I use xmms to play my mp3 files.

 

What is happening is that if I start playing an mp3 file and then skip to the next track, I get the original track playing at the same time as the next track for about 10 seconds. After those ten seconds, the next track plays as normal, until I skip to another track and so on.

 

It's not like xmms is even fading one track out as it fades another in, it places both at full volume. I've looked in the xmms options but nothing stood out that might be causing this.

 

I also have to say my system 'feels' a bit laggy when xmms is playing. Ran just fine, eventually, on 9.2 with the same hardware.

 

(xmms 1.2.9 using aRts Output 0.7.1 plugin.)

 

Totem plays tracks just fine, but I don't much like totem.

 

Anyone have any hints, please?

Disable arts all together then stick it onto ALSA.

I dont know but it could be the word soundwrapper in the shortcut to xmms. Try taking it out. or the aRts plugin. on 9.2 did you have the same versions of the plugin and xmms?

Bingo!

 

Thanks guys for helping.

 

I had just left all of the settings for the sound-system at their defaults when I installed 10.0.

 

It runs a LOT better now.

 

Thank you!
