@h4x I think he is facing issues with sound driver. not with any player.

@prem please post your distro and sound card details.

Which version of redhat is this?

Try using the following command in a terminal window (as root)

Code:
alsaconf

If alsaconf is present, it will try and detect your soundcard, and will ensure that the modules get loaded on booting.
