Sound Card - NOT

[Psyche101]

Hiya 

Tried splay, same result. Also ran xmms from an xterm, no errors or
verbose output of any kind, all seemed smooth. I have found stacks of
esound dirs on my setup, not sure which one I should be looking at,
couldn't see one attached to xmms, found and opened the artsd folder I
could find, but it was some serious stuff, way over my head, couldn't
read it.Been bopping to hissssssss for a day now,LOL, need some new
sounds, any other ideas ?
