372032 2005-07-14 11:57:00 I don't quite understand the permissions part

Where do I type this command? "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp"Chill is checking out whether as a common user you have the correct permissions on your sound. You need to enter that command in the konsole window, the same one that you used for the lsmod command. Try it as a user and again after su - to root. Don't forget CTRL-C will stop the noise if it works. :)

Otherwise, modprobe should work ;-)

Permissions - Try:
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

I get 'Device or resource busy' No Sound is heard

Gribberish to me, and hopefully not to you...



Try changing what output XMMS uses.
Try alsa, oss, arts, esd
See if any of them work


I notice I didn't have xmms installed, so I downloaded it. But am having trouble installing it... grrrr

I downloaded the rpm file, and it says it is installed, but can not file the application.

372036 2005-07-15 02:53:00 Okay, try this:
Press Alt + F2 and type:
konsole
Now, type:
su -
*enter root password*
Now, type in:
chmod -R 777 /dev/ds* /dev/sound* /dev/mix*

These two modules tell me it should be all good:
snd-mixer-oss
snd-intel8x0

Cheers


Chill.

372037 2005-07-15 04:06:00 MP3 is a patented compression method. Many distributions prefer to avoid the possibility of expensive legal problems by not including it in the free distributions. Mandriva seems to have Lame, which is an open form of MP3. ;) Try "mp3 mandriva" to Google (www.google.co.nz). The first link from that appears to be worth a look. Graham L (2)
