i click play after opening the file i wish to paly, but it doesnt do a thing!!!! plus, it wont play cds. i think im linuxtard.Try this play sound test without audio file:
Using XMMS, chosse "Play Location" and write "tone://1000" (without quotation marks). That should generate a 1000 hertz tone.
If you can't hear the tone then you need configure the sound driver.ok, i hear the tone, now what?Then the sound driver work fine fortunately. That is important because it is the most frequent and difficult problem here. Your problem can be one of these:
- To play either from a CD drive or another drive first you must mount the drive using either Mount Tool or Emelfm applications. - What is the audio file format?. XMMS can need some plugin to play specific audio file formats.
Also another media player from MyDSL extensions that you can try instead XMMS is: Mplayer.

If it's a standard audio CD, this won't work. Audio CDs and commercial DVD movies do not mount as typical iso9660 roms, so you'd need to play them directly from the device: xmms /dev/cdromNext Page...
