1) asound.config
2) .asounrd in your ~/
3) the result of
rpm -qa | grep alsa

and also the link from where u got xmms for fc4.

Okay, here you are:
asound.conf

Code:

# Generated by system-config-soundcard, do not edit by hand
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0

And i have no .asoundrc in home folder, i had one before but i deleted it. Info about ALSA is:

Code:

[leeyee@workstation:~]$rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-utils-1.0.9rc2-2
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.9rc4-2
alsa-lib-1.0.9rc4-2

hmm.....I never used yum before, so you can just see your default yum.conf instead. Here is where i got xmms:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...10-16.i386.rpm
And refer to mplayer install, just see this site: www.mjmwired.net

Hope these will be help!

the problem which i am facing i feel is KDE is trying to use aRts while most others are peacefully using alsa. e.g. i can play xmms and gmplayer simultaneously.(although xmms gets kinda stuck in between)
now i have following 2 options:
1) to use alsa and get rid of aRts completely
2) make everything go through aRts

my final aim is to have multiple sounds coming out....the way doesn't really matter.

so how do i go about it now?

Once I issued this command:

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string "alsasink device=output"

my sound doesn't work anymore. I get this error: "ALSA device "output" doesn't exist"
How can I go back to the previous working sound device?

I have a SiS7012 sound card using the intel8x0 driver, this problem affects only gstreamer programs.

Here's how i managed to solve my problems with sound in fedora core 4 ...

first edit the /etc/asound.conf ... it sould look something like this:
#beginnig of asound.conf
pcm.asymed {
type asym
playback.pcm "dmix"
capture.pcm "dsnoop"
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "asymed"
}
#ctl.!mixer0 {
# type hw
# card 0
#}
pcm.!dmix {
type dmix
ipc_key 5678293
ipc_key_add_uid yes
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 128
buffer_size 2048
format S16_LE
rate 48000
}
}
pcm.!dsnoop {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 5778293
ipc_key_add_uid yes
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 128
buffer_size 2048
format S16_LE
rate 48000
}
}
#end of asound.conf

now, i have skype, xmms, xine player, gaim, and some other programs all working perfectly with sound ....
skype demmands that the buffer size be 2048, i 've tried other settings but it wouldn't work ... so if you use skype i suggets you leave the buffer size at 2048 and the Period size at 128 .... You should start skype with alsa like this: "aoss skype"

With xmms you'll need the xmms-alsa plugin and configure it to use the same settings in the asound.conf ... Buffer time = 2048 and Perido time = 128 and disable Mmap, this is done in the advanced tab in the alsa-plugins configuration.

Like skype all others applications that require sound sould be started trhough alsa: "aoss <app>".

Well, i hope this helps ....

See ya !!!

The alsa ver provided with fc4 comes with dmix support prebuilt .. I do not understand why you guys needed to specify it separately ..

At first that's what thought too, but i couldn't get more than one app to use the sound at the same time, only after extensive research i managed to get it working..
But yes ....... FC4 come with dmix support prebuilt .. i really don't understand why it wasn't working ....

This thread was started in the FC2 era.

I knew this thread is not new .. and I had to use the same approach on my previous rh9 .. but ppl were posting their probs on fc4 .. which is why I was surprised ..
