The mixer tells me the following: Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer synth is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 75:75 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 I went to the KDE control center, and under that Sound and then System Sounds, and I tested system sounds from there. I also tried the media player under KDE, and didn’t get any error messages (nothing happens when I try to play the file; the time counter just stays at 0:00). I also opened the midi player under KDE, and it gives me this error message on its screen: “ERROR Can’t open output device”. Though I’m pretty sure it’s an at least partially an unrelated problem (but I figure it can’t hurt to mention it here), I can’t play audio CDs with KDE’s CD player. I get this message when I try: “CDROM read or access error cd player: please make sure you have access permissions to /dev/rmatcd0c” even though I do have access permissions to /dev/rmatcd0c. --- Siegbert Baude <siegbert.baude@gmx.de> wrote: > > I then tried playing .wav files from KDE to test it, and nothing happened. > > What does mixer tell you?
