How do I activate sound so I can play music files in KDE using XMMS? I did a basic install of Debian 3.0 Woody, and after successfully configuring web server type stuff, decided to see how to get a desktop environment up and running out of curiosity. So I installed x-window-system, kde, kdm and xmms and receive a sound card error "device /dev/dsp" can't be opened on starting up kde.
(By the way, can XMMS play .ogg by default? MP3?) lspci says my Dell GX200 has an Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio device. I tried disabling aRTs in KDE's control panel, installing/runnning sndconfig & alsaconf all to no avail. Various Google searches suggest installing modules ac97_codec.o, sound and soundcore, but I have no idea where to find these or how to install these (they do not seem to be on the first Debian Woody CD and not in apt-get). Can anyone advise? My Debian experience has been great so far, and I am sure it's my inexperience that is tripping me up! Thanks in advance! Lynn __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
