The skipping occurs with mp3, ogg, and wave files. It does not happen with a music CD, which makes sense since the CDROM drive sends the music directly out the sound card. > - What sound player are you using and have you tried any others? xmms, noatun, mpg123, ogg123, play: all exhibit skipping. > - When playing the sound source how busy does "top" or "vmstat 1" show > the CPU being? top shows the load average as 0.02 0.04 0.04; this is including a little "background noise" like a periodic fetchmail. > - Is the video card AGP or PCI? The video card is a PCI Matrox Mystique. When I was using my AGP GeForce 4 (before it died), this problem did not occur. -- Samuel Merritt OpenPGP key is at http://meat.andcheese.org/~spam/spam_at_andcheese_dot_org.asc Information about PGP can be found at http://www.mindspring.com/~aegreene/pgp/
