    Sound Over Network?

    Well I was more wondering if this is possible. My sound doesnt work at all and I dont see it working in the near future so is there anyway to send the sound to my other machine and just have that machine play it?

    network

    Do you mean set the soundcard of the other machine as some kind of virtual device or just play files off your machine on the other one?

    Why is your sound not working? I take it you've posted details of that problem before and had no joy.

    Well first of all which would be easier(if its a virtual device then any sound that is made on this computer will play on the other one right?)

    2nd I dont know why my sound card isnt working Even though Mandrake tells me that its configured and alsa is running, and says there is no errors on starting the driver. The mixer tells me theres no sound card and there is nothing listed in /proc/asound/cards So I dont know what to do.

    easiest

    the easiest is to share a directory by nfs or samba and use the other pc to play files from this.

    I will dig out an old Linux format which had a good section on configuring alsa - see if i can find any tips.

    disable plug-and-play in BIOS

    ...is often a very good "first thing to try" when a certain card will not work in Linux. Glad you are now able to listen to streaming audio on your Linux box.
