not sure where to start. problem: 1) xmms plays mp3s: it sounds like the voicing has been cut out. i can hear some sound but it is echoy/reverby 2) dvds play but only the background music is heard. no audio of voices. recent system changes: 1) updated to firefox 0.9 i would include some system info but i dont' know where to start. Thanks in advance! -- A a r o n C i r i l o http://www.livejournal.com/users/aaroncirilo
