Re: Problems with sound device

I believe that KDE is hanging up the sound server.  When I go to control panel 
and uncheck the "Start sound server at startup" XMMS works fine.  Is this 
normal?  Can I not have sounds in KDE if I want to run XMMS?  This seems 
wrong to me.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom C.
