Compiled kernel with SBLive! support, but I can't use sound

[Giscardo]

I compiled kernel 2.4.7 with emu10k1 support compiled into the kernel (not as a module, actually into the kernel), but I can't hear anything when I try to use XMMS. When i try to play an mp3, it pops a window up that says "couldn't open audio". I'm using Slack 8 and Enlightenment.

Chech the permissions on /dev/audio /dev/mixer /dev/dsp i bet you're not allowed to use these thus the error.Either create grup audio and add yourself to it or modify the perms on the devs to get sound (chmod a+rw /dev/foo will give all access to foo device).Hope this helps.

Try using different output plugins in xmms, too. Mine didn't work til I switched it to oss driver.

Hey guys, I fixed the problem by recompiling and this time I enabled OSS support.
