All of these things make a huge difference, especially in the new kernel 2.6 where they have built most of the sound drivers into the kernel. Also you might want to check what sound output plugin your using, esound, alsa, oss, etc.. but i really need a lot more information to fix a linux sound problem then what you have provided.

As the previous post said, more information is required. Anthony Gorecki "Freedom through knowledge."

I'll get back to you on how it turns out... Beeg There are 32 people in the world, the ones who understand HEX and the ones who don't.
