Greetings, I have looked around on Googs and got a whole lot of noise about flacky sound. Well I have a funny one here, I hope some one can guide me through a fix. The very first mp3 I play plays. (that would be using xmms with alsa oss esd etc..) the second one jams up the sound, so if I let track 1 play to the end and auto start track 2 or if I double click track 2 , I hope that makes sense to you as it does to me. If I then try to play an mp3 or system sounds its almost as if it hangs, not the PC just sound, if I adjust PCM or MASTER in gnome volume control it crackles. And then even restarting sound services does not help. What I find super strange is yesterday it was fine. and apart from a few docs worked on nothing has changed on my system. I have also booted it with knoppix and sound is perfect. How can I proceed to diagnose the problem? Thanks for any responses in advance. Chadley
