Correct observation. /dev/dsp and OSS would be unusual. Plus, Fedora's "xmms" package defaults to using the ALSA output plugin. > Good day Rick, > This was a very constructive reply. > No apologies required. > I am so glad you did reply. > My system is now fixed. > > .xmms/config for user was.. > output_plugin=/usr/lib64/xmms/Output/libOSS.so > .xmms for root was.. > output_plugin=/usr/lib64/xmms/Output/libALSA.so > > Copied from root to user and all is well. Fine. You should be able to delete your $HOME/.xmms/ directory and create a working default configuration by restarting XMMS. It defaults to ALSA. There should not be a /root/.xmms/ directory at all. Better delete it and not run XMMS as root user ever again. > I use my laptop like my car. Drive it - stick to the rules - not messing > with things I do not know about. "xmms" is not installed by default, however. It is your personal choice and required you to add it (and 3rd party plugin packages) manually. There are tons of better audio players including several, which originally had started as forks of XMMS. Several still offer the same "skins" interface just based on GTK+ 2 instead of the ancient (and somewhat ugly) GTK+ 1. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
