Damnation Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 i opened xmms told it to use a mp3 from my win drive. it froze no sound nothing. couldn't even shut it down till i rebooted. i moved that file to my linux drive tried it again freeze. i tried a cd apprently it was playing but no sound. nor did i get sound from kscd but from supertux i do. now because my sound card isn't working correctly i am using the onboard sound ports. any ideas on how to fix the freeze with mp3 files, and how to get it to play with sound?

lrsach01 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I had the same problem. I found that on my system, XMMS just won't run using OSS as the output plugin. Go into Options - - - Preferences- - - Output Plugin (in the Preferences window in the lower half). See what Output Plugin you are using. I changed to aRTs and everything works great! :) Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflection666 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I have the same problem but with xine... It dies on every file (all other media players work though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 XMMS works fine even with the OSS output plugin, provided that you have the alsa-oss package installed and snd-pcm-oss module is loaded when system starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeEagle Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 this Problem is easy to solve, click on XMMS and Choose Prefrences ( or Options ) and then chooce Setting or somthing like this because i have the German Version here i do not know really whats called in English and change the Sound driver Output plugins from OSS to ALSA, you can install this output plugin easly from Mandrake Install Center. And everything will work fine. FreeEagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lärs Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) i tried a cd apprently it was playing but no sound. nor did i get sound from kscd but from supertux i do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok, am I correct in assuming you're using ALSA? Well, make sure your mixer settings for analogue CD are set correctly, just in case. Because that recurring problem makes me think that would be the problem. Oh well, what would I know, heh. Maybe you should also try running the xmms cd input plugin in digital mode. That copies the files straight from the CD source, basically, and plays them back. I don't know how useful this can be, but I hope it helped. I would try FreeEagle's suggestion, then this if nothing changes.
