Seems like more of Artsd problem then ? > When you say you tried it from the console, you still had X running, > right? You ran Xmms. Right. What I meant is I started manually rather than let KDE started it (since I don't use KDE). > As you thought, I _am_ using KDE.

I have a built in Via sound card also in this machine, but I disable it from bios and use my SB card (I like the sound better). I don't really want to reboot to try it out now, but when I have to, I'll try the built in sound card with Artsd and OSS. It could be that your problem is a combination of both artsd and your card problem. Sorry can't be really helpful at this point. RDB -- Reuben D.
