Thanks in advance

What it sounds like is that there may be something else with priority on the sound board. For example, gnome uses esd for its sound output. If esd is running, xmms doesn't seem to take control of the sound board. I'd be looking to see if there is anything else that is using the sound board.
I had some similar issues to yours however mine were particular to FreeBSD running the Enlightenment window manager with the sounds turned on. XMMS wouldn't use the sound board when it was perceived to be in use by another component.
On a slightly different approach however, you may have a faulty install of xmms. Perhaps a rebuild would be in order.
Hope that this helps, and regards.

in xmms go to options, and select a good output source, if you mainly use KDE that would be Artsd (could be you have to install the Arts-Plugin first) then it should work.
also you could select oss (wich usualy works)
if you don't hear sound, it could be some app is useing the /dev/dsp
check that out by entering (in a console as root) fuser /dev/dsp
then kill that PID by typing (suppose pid nr is 1932) kill -9 1932
that should do the trick too.
