I suggest you post this in the Open Source section. All the Linux geeks hang out there. Will request mods to move this thread. BTW, welcome to Digit forums. :D

@pradeepbp:bhai,If ur Audio in general working,then in xmms right click and goto options>preference>Output Plugin>change to ALSA or OSS or ESD depending on where u get sound or a better one is disable sound for events.
@mods pls move to Open SOurce and why dont moderators change the title to OpenSource/Linux so that noobs will get it easy. :D
