Ok, I think I've found the appropriate bug in bugzilla regarding the problem I was having with Rhythmbox. As to the other problem with esd, no one seems to have an answer, so I thought I'd repost the question and see if anyone knows what's going on. I've got Fedora Core 3 using kernel 2.6.9-1.667, the default one that ships with FC3. I have a SiS 735 chipset motherboard with an Athlon 1800+ XP, and 1 GB of DDR. FC3 detected my sound card as using the snd-intel8x0 driver, which has worked fine for me in the past. The output for the card detection test was flawless. Output via ALSA and OSS work flawlessly as well. But any sounds output through ESD get garbled and 'staticky' sounding. My ESD version is: [surak@dagda ~]$ esd --version Esound version 0.2.35 This didn't happen on Gentoo, my last distro. (I'm a recent convert/Gentoo refugee...Gentoo was just getting too hairy to maintain given my schedule) Anyone got a clue?
