Perhaps you are experiencing sound that sounds very compressed and tinny?
Using the setmixer package, my settings (for an iBook) are:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setmixer -V
vol - 68,68
bass - 50
treble - 50
pcm - 50,50
speaker - 0
mix - 0,0
pcm2 - 0,0
...which sounds perfectly acceptable through headphones. I did use to
have horribly distorted sound, and found that it was fixed by reducing
the `pcm' setting to 50%. Don't know what it does, but it cheered me up
to have sound working.
Hope that wasn't too irrelevant,
Ed
