Re: Mp3 music doesn't play

One other thing to check if you still have a problem, in alsamixer press F6 to see if you have two soundcards in your system; newer computers sometimes do, & you will need to change which to use. (anologue & hdmi)

I've been on irc a couple of times now.

Check your PM. Thanks.
Damned if I know what I'm doing wrong.

Took screenshots but can't upload here; invalid filename.

Suggest just remove my account; I already have 3 email addresses anyway.

Edit: I'll still be around in the forum. :)
