Depending on what your sound hardware is and what version of the kernel you're using, these could be known issues. Some versions of the drivers for some recent sound hardware, specifically earlier versions of the drivers for the emu10k1 (found in many of Creative Labs PCI cards), the Intel sound stuff (AC97 blah blah), and the ymfpci chip (most notably found in many newer laptops AFAIK) are all scragged. I know this, because I've got one of each of these things either in one of my own systems or one I use at work. =8^) If you can't find a kernel version that fixes your problem (or don't feel like hunting), try the ALSA project (www.alsa-project.org). It's a bit of a PIA to get it working properly initially, but once you do, "it just works" as they say. However, AFAIK, all of the problems with the above mentioned sound hardware are resolved in the latest 2.4 series kernel. Some were resolved well before that, but I can't give you specific version numbers. I'm still using ALSA on some of my systems though, because those drivers often provide advanced features which the stock kernel stuff doesn't, like built-in sequencer support (i.e. you can play MIDI files)!
