red hat 8 sound problem

(1/2) > >>

ims27_8:
I'm using redhat 8.0 with via8233 ac-97 audio. I've instaled the alsa drivers, and now when i go into that soundcard detection program and click play test sound, i actually get sound! but when i try to play mp3's in xmms, it doesn't work, it just loops through the playlist like there is no output device. How do i fix this?

ims27_8:
would it be easier if i bought a better soundcard, like a soundblaster or something? I'm happy now, i got iptables working, so spending a little money to get the sound working properly is ok.

ims27_8:
i was thinking:
SoundBlaster Live! D.E 5.1 SE Special Edition Retail box with center channel
but i want to make sure it is compatible before i buy it. Anyone else using one of these?

ims27_8:
ok, i fixed the xmms problem, it was to do with red hat 8 not coming with mp3 codecs, so i downloaded the mp3 plugin for xmms. One last thing, where would i put:

modprobe snd-via8233;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss


if i wanted it to be executed when my computer starts up?

ims27_8:
ok i'm getting there, all i have to do now is make it so the sound channels don't start off muted. Any suggestions?
