Sorry for that. My ISP was down for 2 days. Now that I can connect again I have problems sending mail with my mailer exmh, the mail just goes into the queue and sits there. I then switch to sylpheed which integrates the exmh folders and forward the mail by which process I overlooked that the Subject: was left out.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > for that matter, what "in sound" means /usr/src/linux make xconfig, then klick on sound Well, when I had installed RH9.0 I could not open siam office which I could with SW9.1. So I installed the SW 2.4.22 kernel in RH and siam office opened. Having the distorted sound in SW to which distro I am planning to migrate eventually I put the same sound settings in SW found in RH using make xconfig sound. Then I copied the /etc/modules.conf of RH to SW /etc/. That did not change anuthing in SW as for distorted sound. [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Third, what sound card (or mobo sound) is involved? The motherboard is P4VMM2 , the chipset P4M266/A Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge, Audio - AC'97 Audio Codec on the mobo.

All the .wav files I use for sounds such as opening, closing, iconify etc. windows. Playing a video CD is plain impossible whereas playing a music CD has no distortion. The distortion is a continuous scratching and a tapering-off really annoying sound. I went now back into SW9.1 did a make xconfig sound and klicked yes for OSS. Now the tapering-off sound is gone, however, the annoying scratch persists. It is like an electrical static sound only harder on both speakers. I check the wires, the plug, changed speakers; they must be all fine since there is now such scratch with the RH9.0 sound system. Hope some solution can be found.
