My F11 box was working fine until I just recently discovered that

longer works. When I try to play audio using XMMS it says it can't open the

set to ALSA. My physical hardware is the onboard NVidia audio, which was
working up until recently (not sure when it broke -- I don't listen to a
lot of audio on my linux box.)
Any ideas what to check? All mixers are configured to use the hardware
output.
Sounds like pulseaudio isn't active. What does
ps aux | grep pulse
say? XMMS should be set to use pulse audio device. Hardware mixers should just
be checked to make sure nothing is muted, and your best bet is to use
pavucontrol to adjust volumes. XMMS internal volume control slider can also be
used (it is synchronized with pavucontrol slider).
HTH, :-)
