What are the best music players for linux? I would like to get MP3's on my machine. Is there a way i can get my onboard audio working? I have an epox 8kha.
I want this OS to do everything!


Thanks!

The 8KHA+ uses the AC97 Audio drivers I believe, linux can cope with Mp3s - use noatun or xmms.

XMMS is what I use. I aims to clone the Winamp gui. You can even use Winamp skins with it.

xmms is the best...i almost like it better than winamp, besides the fact that i can stream mp3 audio with winamp.

Bring up a console and type lsmod

Cut and paste everyline with snd in it, and post it here.

Yea, I don't see any sound stuff in there.

Anyone remember what module is for AC '97 Codec sound?

It was mentioned in an earlier thread. I'll have a look for it.

These are IdeaMagnate's modules, he has the epox 8kha+ mobo as well.

you will need to insmod them in a certain order.

Those are from Alsa, though, which this guy may not necessarily have.

Actually, the following should be all he needs to modprobe:
snd-ac97-codec
snd-mixer-oss

Modprobe should more or less sort out most of the module dependencies from that.
