SBlaster Live problem

[anthonws]

Hello to all!

This is my first time with Kubuntu!
I'm a realtive "normal" user for Debian distros (Kanotix, Ubuntu, etc)

The only hard time I'm getting with Kubuntu is with my sound card.
I can hear KDE sounds but when playing something with XMMS or Kaffeine nothing comes out!!

Here's the tech info:

Running Kaffeine for earing a mp3 file give's me this:

(...)

Please, can anyone point me to a solution.

I have already purged ALSA and installed it again.

Thanks a lot,
Anthon.

Did you install the needed codecs as described in

Re: SBlaster Live problem

I am extremely new to linux in general, but have a decent background in PC's, but I have an Audigy 4 soundcard. amarok and other media players would never play anything, neither .ogg, .mp3, or streaming audio. What I did to fix this was go into the Adept package manager, and add aRts for amarok, then changed the engine in amarok to aRts. After I did this, my audio played fine. I don't know if xine was giving me the problem, or if changing the engine fixed some glitch I'm unaware of. I did have all the codecs for all the media I was attempting to play as well.

I hope this helps a bit.
