First of all, sorry if this is not the precise place to solve this problem, but I admit I don't know where to go :( and, of course, excuse my bad English ;) I'm a Gentoo user, and I'm very glad with it. But I can't use the Gnome sound features because it uses the 'play' command and that one hangs on playing a wav or mp3 file. The same using the sounds in Amsn. I think it's not a problem of my soundcard, because Xmms and Mplayer work perfectly. Besides, Xine also hangs the same that 'play'. When I try to 'play' some file, it starts well but at the first second it "stammers". I reproduce now the output of the verbose output: Tux root # play -V /usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav sox: Detected file format type: wav sox: Chunk fmt sox: Chunk fact sox: Chunk data sox: Reading Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 2 channels, 44100 samp/sec sox: 176400 byte/sec, 4 block align, 16 bits/samp, 321224 data bytes sox: Input file /usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav: using sample rate 44100 size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 2 channels sox: Input file /usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav: comment "/usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav" sox: Output file /dev/dsp: using sample rate 44100 size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 2 channels sox: Output file: comment "/usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav" /usr/bin/play: line 218: 8944 Violaci

What can be the problem? I have to say that Xmms plays the files perfectly, with ALSA and OSS plugins. I use the 2.6 kernel, and USE="alsa -oss". I hope you can help me. Thanks for all.

Here I am annoying again. Well, last week I had a problem with my hard disk (at least it still was in warranty time) so I've had to install Gentoo again, and I've tried to do it using all my experience ;) and I still have the same problem with the sound, with a little note: sox is not installed but my problem persists, si now I think perhaps the problem is in Esound. I've heard things about Gnome and the wish of leaving apart Esound to take Gstreaming, but I don't know if that is related. I'm stranged I'm the only one with that problem. Thanks for all Benja
Exact same problem here. Xine and "play" studders, mplayer and xmms work fine. Ideas, anyone?

Well, I've installed Gentoo again with just a few GRP packages (openoffice-bin and tetex) and now all of that works!!! So I think I didn't read that the USEs must be used just AFTER ALL the GRP installations. Perhaps that was the problem. At least, I see I was not the only one! Be lucky! Benja
sox uses oss. Do you have the oss emulation modules loaded? Please provide the output of: $ lsmod $ cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
no response from user
Sorry, but now I don't use Gentoo, I have passed to the easy side of the force (Ubuntu) :D Anyway, I answer... yes, I had the alsa-oss package installed. Benja
