I've got a problem with running mp3 files on my red hat 7.1 system.
When I use the XMMS player (in Gnome) I get a problem with sound config message and when i try thr command line mpg123 I get a message telling me that a temporary sound socket could not be created under the /tmp directory.
However mp3's are playable (under XMMS) when I use the root account.Yes, it sounds that way. Since the message reports a problem with /tmp, the natural first thing to ask about is the permissions on that directory. What does "ls -l / |grep tmp" report about them? (It should be mode 777.) Also let us see the output of "df" (since the problem might be too little space available on the relevant filesystem).
MP3's are playble if I double click their icons under the file manager though, even in a user account.
Clearly the problem isint with the sound config which is fine.There must be some permissions problem.Please help.
If all that looks OK, please post again, this time with the *exact* output of the mpg123 error message (and the command you enter that generates it).
Also tell use the nature of the "problem with sound config message" you get when running xmms under Gnome, and what application plays the files when you "double click their icons under the file manager".
