When you say stable version, do you mean version 0.5 ? Because if you do, you'd better try the newer version 0.9, it is development, but it's much better. Try doing a "locate snd-intel8x0" and see if it returns something. If you are using 0.5, it's normal you can't find snd-intel8x0 because in the old version it uses other names for its modules... > > and when I run alsamixer, I get: > alsamixer: failed to open mixer #0/#0: No such file or directory > That's normal if the modprobe doesn't work > And I don't know how to test if alsa is working or not.

And xmms doesn't have Alsa support built in standard, you'll have to install an extra plugin for it. You can find it here: http://iznogood.bohemians.org/ > > Can anyone please help?
