Hi - 

I'm running aRTS as part of the KDE2.1beta2 RPMs for Mandrake. Non-aRTS sound 
works fine and sounds good. Anything that goes through aRTS however sounds 
very distorted/compressed (unusably distorted). I've twiddled everything I 
can think of to twiddle, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

Just in case its relevant: I've got onboard VIA 686a sound that did not work 
"out of the bag" for me. I had to install the ALSA drivers and add the 
following to my /etc/modules.conf, I lifted it off a website and don't 
understand what its doing:

# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via686a
#next line might need to have snd_id, if so...
options snd-card-interwave snd_index=0 # see below
 
# OSS/Free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

Thanks - Jon
