I noticed it does that, but I couldn't find anything in any tray, or
wherever, to actually GET to the running pgm.

It runs the aRts engine [default?]. When I try to change that to
something else, it crashes. It might be that the inaccessible amarok
was left over from such a crash. Sound is from the MBoard - Cmedia
cm8738.

Hmmm... yes... reviewing what I wrote, it seems as though I did put in
the wrong name in referring to audacity instead of amarok - perhaps
left the wrong word when pasting in. :-) Sorry for the confusion.
Lemme try again:

I'm trying to get some sound up on a box recently updated to 10.1.
Using Amarok to play an mp3 file results in severely distorted sound,
but xmms and Audacity seem to do OK. If I try to use another 'engine'
in Amarok it crashes. Tried adjusting levels everywhere, but can't get
good sound in Amarok. Any way to get rid of the distortion in Amarok?

Addendum - the sound level from Amarok is quite a bit lower than the
other apps, even with kmix at the max.

Thanks....
