Actually, I don't think he said that just moving the mouse causes the problem. It seems like it's happening whenever he scrolls a window or moves it.
If the S3 card is PCI, chances are it's stealing PCI bandwidth from the SBLive! card causing this audio "tearing." If that's the case, there's really nothing you can do about it (except buy an AGP video card)! I would suggest turning off "opaque window resize/move" in the window manager if it's enabled, that should reduce the PCI bandwidth requirements during a window move/resize. However, scrolling will probably continue to cause clicks and pops. I had precisely this same problem back when I was also using an S3 PCI card. There's no good solution except to upgrade to AGP if possible. Scott Long SwiftView, Inc. http://www.swiftview.com On Tue, 17 Sep 2002 10:57:19 -0700 (PDT) "J.
