Re: [Alsa-user] xmms appears to play mp3s correctly but no sound is heard.

[Larry A. <lab...@mi...>]

Problem solved :-)

In ~/.xmms/config I changed one line:

[ALSA}
pcm_device=hw:0,0   	line from linda worked in song
pcm_device=default	did not work in song

I don't know why this worked but xmms is working fine now.
