Whenever I'm playing sound files (using xmms, grip and other applications), the computer adds very short interruptions to the sound when lines scroll on any visible application.
So if I have something spewing a lot of output to an xterm, it chirps a lot if the whole xterm is visible; not at all if it's on a non-visible desktop or if another application covers it; and a little if part of the xterm is visible. This happens with other GUI applications that have scrolling text windows (such as Firefox when scrolling with the mouse wheel) and in various desktops (xfce4, Gnome, KDE). Here's some dpkg info about my sound daemon. ii esound 0.2.35-2 un esound-alsa <none> ii esound-clients 0.2.35-2 ii esound-common 0.2.35-2 The sound card is a Creative Labs Soundblaster of some kind, about four years old and not fancy. Any suggestions for how to fix this or just identify the problem? Thanks, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
