Don't know if it is a cheap soundcard or not, but I didn't have these
problems in Fedora so i guess it is just a matter of configuration.

Haven't tried that one yet. There is no arts output plugin in my xmms
so i guess i have to recompile xmms in order to use arts output.


I tried running alsaconf as Cristian mentioned in the other post. It
detected my soundcard (intel8x0 "Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 Audio
Controller (rev 03)") and set up /etc/modules.conf, but that didn't fix
my problems either.
Any more ideas out there? Thanx for all answers so far.
