Hi, all.

I've been fruitlessly searching the web for the last hour and a half trying to figure this one out, so I figured I'd see if anybody had any advice.

I have a SlimDevices Sqeezebox in my family room and my computer in my living room. I'm trying to sync the sound using SlimServer. I'm using Softsqueeze on the computer, and it does everything correctly except think my computer has a sound card. It does (xmms works), but upon launching, SoftSqueeze shows me a "Softsqueeze could not find a sound card on your computer" message.

Softsqueeze is a Java app, and someone out there suggested specifying the sound card as a system pref to Java upon launching:

java -Daudio.mixer="my_sound_card" -jar Softsqueeze.jar

How do I figure out what to put in the "my_sound_card" part? I've tried the output of scanpci ("VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller") or "asoundconf list" ("rev50"), but Java doesn't take either one ("JavaSoundPlayer: mixer not found: rev50").

I don't know much about sound on linux, so I don't even know if I'm barking up the right tree. Should I just specify "ALSA" somehow? Could it be related to the fact that the sound is on the motherboard?

Thanks,
Brett
