I don't know about the second problem, but the first could be caused by DRC (dynamic range compression) -- those event sounds are short enough that it mightn't trigger for those. To check if this is the case, look for the "DRC Switch" slider in your ALSA mixer program and either crank it up to 100% or "mute" it to disable DRC. -- Paul Collins Wellington, New Zealand Dag vijandelijk luchtschip de huismeester is dood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
