Hey.
I'm rather new to the linux world, i've tried distros such as RedHat and previous versions of Mandrake (actually every versions since 8.2). In all the distros i've tried, ELX linux was the only one that i could listen to MP3's with. I've downloaded Mandrake 9.1 today and, since i prefer the Gnome interface to KDE's, i run it with Gnome (but it doesnt work more with KDE). The first thing i tried was opening XMMS and trying to play MP3s (thost mp3's are on a separate FAT32 drive, /mtc/win_c). It didn't work. XMMS even froze up after a while. So i tried to figure it out by myself by searching linuxdoc and manpages to no avail. Then i suddenly got a genius idea: I tried to play a video file. Surprisingly, Xine has no problem with my audio, seems to be only XMMS and well system beeps an such.
Is the problem related with XMMS, or Gnome, or the fact that my MP3's
are on a mounted FAT drive?

It would seem to me that your onboard sound card is conflicting with your added soundcard (Soundblaster Live!) - if you disable the onboard sound card in BIOS you should be able to get the Soundblaster working properly...same card I have, and my mobo has the same onboard sound as well - so it's just a matter of reconfiguration in the BIOS mate...
