I bought a new laptop about a year ago (ok, so now it's not new anymore), but it has one of those "SoundMax" cards. CD Audio works fine, but playing Mp3s or OGG files sounds like a stretched out tape. I've tried Suse, RedHat and Slackware. I've tried lots of different players, installed all sorts of mp3 software thinking the CODECs were missing or Player wouldn't play Mp3s or OGGs, tried mpg123 mpg321 for the cli. MPEGs play in mplayer, but for some reason I can't get the encoded audio only files to play. I realize that RedHat and possibly Suse don't include mp3 support by default, but Slackware doesn't care, never has. I've tried ALSA, trying different modules, it detects the right sound card (or Audio CDs wouldn't play) but any encoded file sounds like it's stuck or stretched out. I've always had the best luck with hardware and Slackware but this is one card that even Slack won't play nice with. Suse's running on it now...
