vlc won't sound

[nishith]

I have installed vlc using the yum installer.

I got a acer laptop which has OSS installed. ALSA didnot work due to issues with ICH8 chipset.

Anyway, xmms plays audio alright , but when I start vlc and play the same file, it seems to play it but I donot get to hear anything ! [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ohmy.png[/img]

Any idea how to tell vlc to use OSS?

thanks

I just added aout=OSS to the file ~/.vlc/vlcrc and it is working now
