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?

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.

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.

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. :cheeky:

I would try FreeEagle's suggestion, then this if nothing changes.
