It also helped to go to the KDE sound system and raise that sound buffer and enable high priority. I still can't play MIDI files though but I'll make a new e-mail about that to avoid confusion As a side note libmad does have a little bit of stuttering and it seems the buffer was the issue with libmpg123 --- John Do wrote: > So does anyone have any ideas about how to enable my > soundcard to play MIDI sounds and fix the XMMS > stuttering issue? > > Your help is welcomed and appreciated don't be > shy....thanks :) > > --- John Do wrote: > > > I even copied libmad.so into > > /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Input > > > > where all the other XMMS Input modules are and > with > > a > > restart it still doesn't show :( > > > > > > --- John Do wrote: > > > > > Does anyone know how to load and configure > another > > > MP3 > > > player instead of lib123.so in XMMS? > > > > > > I have libmad and others installed but I have no > > > other > > > options for MP3 playing other than lib123 > > > > > > I still can't figure out how to enable MIDI > sounds > > > for > > > my soundcard > > > > > > > > > --- John Do wrote: > > > > > > > The plugin makes sense.....I think it is the > > MP123 > > > > plugin that I'm using and the other players > that > > > > don't > > > > skip must be using some other plugin > > > > > > > > I'll try to install and use libMAD like you > > > > recommend > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > --- Garrett Cooper > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Sep 18, 2005, at 5:18 PM, John Do wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Does anyone know why the sound skips and > > often > > > > > > stutters in XMMS? > > > > > > > > > > > > I don't seem to have this problem in other > > > > random > > > > > > media players in FreeBSD. > > > > > > > > > > > > I'm also wondering why it won't show MIDI > > > > support > > > > > even > > > > > > though it is detected for PCM sound.
