I'm not using the OSS driver because there is no OSS driver for VIA 8233. Only VIA 686. Which is not the same thing. So there is no way to test it by changing drivers. Switching between ALSA and OSS for ARTS has no apparent effect on the sound quality. But ESD ALWAYS outputs digital garbage. I guess I find it really hard to believe that ARTS OSS output is so terribly different from ESD's that it should cause a driver bug. Doesn't really matter to me I just use ARTS. But it was annoying until I realized ESD was the problem. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
