Yes I have found a difference, I dual boot into Ubuntu & XP - the root cause of my difference's was related to the wireless card through. The wireless card was performing poorly on Linux and that was impacting sound quality, this has been improved significantly on the move to 8.10 so doubt whether that is your problem. I haven't since the 8.10 checked the sound quality between the 2, I guess this is a hard thing to measure as with the wireless issues resolved then it would be related to my own interpretation -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55182 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
