Set everything to "PCM Out". # (but see below at KsCD) # # I have aRTs NOT enabled. # If you want otherwise go to KDE Control Center, Sound Sytem, flag the field # "Start aRTs soundserver on KDE startup". # In the tab "Sound I/O" in the field # " Use Custom Sound Device" # insert /dev/sound/adsp to have output to the digital # otherwise do not flag the field or use /dev/sound/dsp (without the 'a') # to use analog output # use bottum "test" to test :) # # Also test sounds with KDE Control Center, LookNFeel, # System Notification, # Actions Play a Sound # If you don't want to use aRTs but you do still want to have # KDE Sounds System Notification # (I don't see any reason to do it) be sure to press "Player Settings..." # button and in the # popup window use external player and type /usr/bin/aplay # aRTs does not care about this configuration file # # in xmms # # press ctl P, output plugin = Alsa 0.9, # configure, user defined: default, 0, PCM. # # Output goes to Digital because of pcm.!default setting below. # aRTs settings before explained do not affect xmms # # Totem Media Player: output goes to digital (because of pcm.!default setting below). # aRTs setting before explained do not affect Totem # # my KsCD works if, within alsamixer, at least "IEC958" or "IEC958 1" is setted # as "H/W in 0" or "H/W in 1". # You can even set both but in this case # this setting (instead of "PCM out") void other digital sounds. # aRTs setting before explained do not affect KsCD # KsCD not care about this configuration file. # # mplayer (from terminal or konsole) works with: mplayer -ao alsa9:default avi1.avi # if the option ao=alsa9:default is set in mplayer.conf it works # also with mplayer avi1.avi # mplayer.conf is in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf (but read notes in the # files itself: there are other files as well) # # the gui version of mplayer (gmplayer) seeks the file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf # and then in your home .mplayer/config and then .mplayer/gui.conf. # if the sound is not working verify ao option there. # I did not understand everything here, but if you delete gui.conf # the file is recreated # by gmplayer. In my experience it creates also an entry ao_driver = "alsa9" that must # be corrected as ao_driver = "alsa9:default" # if you launch via command line you can use gmplayer -ao alsa9:default avi1.avi # or use MenuDrake to add the -ao option to the menu command. # Running from a terminal or konsole I have several warning messages like: # alsa-control: mixer attach default error: Invalid argumentA: 5,5 V: 5,5 A-V: # or # alsa-control: unable to find simple control 'PCM',0 3% 4% 0,9% 3 0 92% # but the system seems to work fine # # A note about mixers. # Mixer allow you to share the sound device between different applications # and have different # sounds mixed toghether. aRTs is a mixer.
