This is my first crack at setting up an X11 server and sound, so I may be missing something obvious. I've tried running xmms, "artsdsp xmms", with and without esd, zinf from a command prompt, and cdcontrol. This all has been built a couple days ago, with 4.8 a week old CD-ROM built via FTP, and KDE via FTP direct. The sound output driver selection in xmms shows nothing for the audio and mixer devices, and selecting the alternates (/dev/dsp & /dev/mixer) does not make it work. Also, if it bears on the issue, I couldn't get the nVidia driver to run - it failed without an error message in the log file (only info msgs) - so I used Vesa which causes some garbage to be put on the screen upon initialization, but then works thereafter. TIA. Walter
