Multimedia :: Sound issues

I'm running on an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 440CDT, 133mhz processor, 32mb of ram. I get the error message ' Couldn't open audio' when i try to play an mp3 file in XMMS. There is no sound module beyond 'default' listed in the configurations section of the XMMS options. I've tried lspci -v and no sound card is listed, and i cannot find one in system stats either. There is an entry 'soundcore' in the modules tab of system stats, but i don't know if thats related.

I would be grateful for any ideas people have that might help to fix this.

Thanks

i'm using a toshiba 320cdt and had trouble with the sound.
i dont know if you have the same yamaha opl3sa2 soundcard, but you could try;

sudo modprobe opl3sa2 isapnp=0 multiple=0 io=0x370 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530 irq=7 dma=0 dma2=1

this only gives me sound with cds on xmms, not any system sounds or internet radio. but its a start!

Unfortunately that didn't really help, it just said 'can't locate module'. Is there any other way for me to identify which soundcard (or more likely inbuilt sound chip) i have?

see System Stats
or run lscpi -v

I now know that it is a built in sound chip rather than a dedicated card.
