thanks for the replies

i just added the re: myself, i have a feeling when i use reply it's not 
getting back to the list.

after installing gnome and then going back to kde i can play mp3s on xmms in 
kde. cd's play intermittantly on xmms, no sound with kscd.

i don't really understand the kde questions, i installed the default kde 
desktop, i assume it installed it's sound server. i don't remember having the 
oppotunity to choose anything. in control center > sound system  i have sound 
disabled right now but under hardware > audio device  alsa was selected by 
default.

the kernel is the original from the dvd, i was advised not to update during a 
new install. haven't done anything since because i haven't found info 
explaining why i should yet. alsamixer settings always come up umuted and 
with a decent level for the main values, master, pcm etc. i can't speak for 
all of them - there are way too many!!!

here's lsmod;
