Do you specify "alsa" on the boot command line?
Example: knoppix lang=us alsa myconfig=.....
alsa used to work fine untill recently when i was trying to play a song using xmms. Xmms keeps telling me no soundcards found but when i play a movie with mplayer sound works fine
lsmod

under preferences , i have checked the alsa module but it does not work
Neither the alsa module nor OSS module work
I even removed and reinstalled alsa but that did not help either
how to fix this please?
Do you specify "alsa" on the boot command line?
Example: knoppix lang=us alsa myconfig=.....
alsa loads fine . The problem is not really the alsa but xmms i believeOriginally Posted by SunnyB
All other media players like mplayer play sound fine . XMMS is what is giving me the problems as it is sayng no sound card found
ON my other post you can see the alsa modules showing up in lsmod ( snd_emu10k1 )
Take a look at the output plugin Xmms is using. Mine (although it's a HD install) runs fine with OSS Driver 1.2.8
