xmms uses PCM (by default). If you used that to adjust your volume it'll adjust the PCM channel instead of master. That happened to me a while back and it took me a while to figure out what was happening. PCM shouldn't be set to more than (roughly 74%). xmms can be configured to use master instead of pcm if desired. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
