No Sound with Totem-Xine

Hi all, have any body experienced with No-Sound Xine ? I have just install xine & totem-xine on my ubuntu. However, when I play a .asf file the weird thing happen: the pictures is excellent but there is no sound at all (even though, the system sounds is loud and clear) both in xine & totem-xine. As suggestion on the internet I try to pass option in .totem_config & .xine/config to enable alsa driver, but so far no help. When I tried switch back to totem-gstreamer with gstreamer-ffmpeg, the file is playing with sound and pictures is good for the 15sec then, the sound start sluggish... & I don't like gstreamer backend. Any idea to fix the problem ? Thanks lots, Nigel

It is probably trying to play out the OSS driver (the ALSA simulated one) and it's probably muted. I had trouble like this all the time when first using Fedora. If that is the case, and playing with the volume control does fix it, you can add some lines to /etc/modprobe.conf to make sure the settings are saved correctly (you might not need all of these, and in fact I think this particular setup is wrong: install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && { /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >>/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove Craig
