Aaron Ni:
I believe there's a Linux media player called XMMS.

emh:
I just thought of something else.  Calum, assuming you've got ALSA installed, did you get errors when using the modprobe command.  If you did, ignore this message.

Were the problems because the applications seemed to work, but you had no sound, or because you got errors when trying to play something that uses the sound card?

The reason why I say this is because ALSA is muted by default.  Once installed, you need to turn up the volumes on the main volume switch and the PCM switch.  You can do that with a program like aumix or Kmix.

Forgive me if you've already tried this, since I don't know if you have or not.  Just thought I'd make a suggestion just in case you hadn't already tried it.

Calum:
would you believe that was a typing error?
i mean i CAN'T install alsa  :(

i tried using rpms (via apt-get from freshrpms.net) and it simply doesn't work, i tried from source but the modules need kernel source. when i get kernel sources, it seems the modules will build but will put themselves in the wrong dir and will not be loadable from my running kernel.

i know i am doing something wrong, but haven't the time to figure it out atm :-(

yes the card is an ISA card. i got it after trying 2 more modern PCI cards (a new soundblaster surround sound one which didn't work at all and a c-media one which works partially with OSS, and is supposed to work with alsa, as far as i could tell when i had mandrake, this is true) and out of the 3 the ISA one is the only one i have had NO problems with. it is also supported by alsa so it claims on the alsa site.

when i have time i will try.
