My laptop's sounddriver can occasionally start spewing out noise (crackling) along with the sound, and usually the sound is also limited to the right speaker (less often to the left one). I had the problem with mpg123, and it still exists with xmms. > fuser didn't show anything using the device, but when i checked my > processes, esd was sitting there pegging the cpu. when i killed esd, i > could remove and reinstall the sound driver (maestro3) and sound would > work again. I found that just pausing xmms, or pressing any of the right/left arrow keys to fast-forward or rewind a millisecond fixes the problem. I have no idea what causes it, and my windows-friends are not impressed :-( > fun to tell people you are tracking an uptime on your laptop. yeah, me too :P Stig -- www.brautaset.org
