So you are correct. I checked this again and nothing is using /dev/dsp.
I must have had XCDroast running at the time. I fired up XMMS and then
it showed that XMMS is using /dev/dsp.

I will take late replies. That's better than none. =) Ok,
applications do appear to be playing. Right now XMMS is playing a song.
The progress indicator is moving along, the EQ lights are bouncing up
and down. Everything looks good & right. Just no sound.
I logged in to KDE, no love there either. Also nothing from the command
line, such as 'play filename.wav'.

No offense taken. This was the first thing I checked also. Speakers
are in the green plug, they are plugged in, the power is on and they
work under windows. So I am 99% sure the problem is not in the
speakers, and that the sound card (not actually a "card" since it's
built in to the motherboard) are working.
Ok, I never thought of the 100 thing. I tried taking all the volumes
down a few notches. Didn't seem to help.
I fired up alsa and messed with igain, line and line1 while XMMS was
playing. I did various combinations of those 3 at different levels and
still no sound.
Thanks to both of you for some good ideas & observations.
Any other suggestions please?
Adrian
