Yes, DSL will play mp3s out of the box.

Yes, in redhat 4.0 i can player mp3, but my desiree is play mp3 and ogg in DSL, because my hd is only 1G. Same problem occur in feather linux. I like to install linux mini distribution in my laptop.
thanks

You could try this.

Check your BIOS or boot up MSWindows and write down the settings for your sound card / driver. Like the irq , the io and the dma memory locations.

Then boot into DSL and open up an Xterminal window and type:

modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 isapnp=0

where you replace these values with the settings that are specific to your laptop.

Hope this helps.

OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, this work perfect...... THANKS.

I have a similar problem, when I try to play mp3s, I have no sound, even though the player seems to be playing. I tried using something similar to the command above, but I'm not sure how to see the sound card details under DSL. BIOS doesn't seem to list those details. How can I configure my sound card to fix it under DSL? Again, I would like to play mp3s in XMMS. Any suggestions?
Tnx in advance.

I have this problem also, but only with mp3.
I can play .avi and .mpg musicvideos from my harddrive without any problems, and there will be sound.
But if I try with mp3 nothing will happen. Xmms will just stand still on 00:00 in time and there will be no sound.
I do not have ms windows on this computer, just inserted dsl cd and booted so I can not check irq and so on. And I don't want to turn of my computer and check the bios irq for my soundcard, then I will lose all settings and programs I've installed on my dsl as I have not figured out how to use backup/restore yet but I will take a look at it..
