Scratchy Sound FC4

["Paul Lemmons" <Paul.Lemmons@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have installed FC 4 on my workstation and have brought it “up 2 date” so I am current. It is working perfectly in every way but one. The sound is horrible!

 

I have Googled extensively and have found that I am not the only one experiencing the problem. I have yet to find a solution, though. I am hoping that the solution is known by someone on the list and I can get this fixed.

 

Here is what I have done with marginal success:

• Opened KMixer and on the Output Tab turned off everything but the “Front” line in
• On the Input tab turned both input sources off
• On the switches tab turned off IEC958
• I have tried adjusting various volumes

 

I am using XMMS to listen to MP3’s
