Hi All, I'm asking this here, because it's something I've been stuck on for a while, and just haven't ever managed to find a solution for. Whenever I try to play mono files (doesn't matter if it's ogg, mp3, wav, whatever) in XMMS, all I get is silence. This was the same with the Beep Media Player and was also the same before I got my Audiophile 2496 and was using my motherboard's built-in soundcard with XMMS. I just can't seem to playback mono files in any of the media players I like. They seem to work in Juk, but I think that's because it's non-Alsa? In XMMS, I'm using the Alsa 1.2.10 output plugin, with "pcm.analogout" as my audio device - works great for stereo files, just not for mono. So, essentially I think I have some kind of Alsa problem that prevents me hearing mono files played back in XMMS. Ring any bells for anyone? Cheers for your help, and I hope I'm just being a dumb-ass! ;-D ~Dave -- Dave Silvester Music Technology Junkie | Rentable Website Monkey http://www.mu-sly.co.uk | http://www.rentamonkey.com
