If want to do this in Gnome, go to the Multimedia Systems Selector in the preferences menu, and switch the Default Output Sink to OSS. OSS does it too, even worse than ESD. The only one that seems clean is ALSA. Now I guess my next question would have to be is there a way to remove the dmix middleman and still get software based mixing? Also would putting in Jack potentially fix the problem? -Mike I've never used Jack, so I am not sure if that's a solution or not. When you switch from ESD to OSS, did you still have /etc/init.d/esound running? You may need to stop that service in order to make sure it is completely out of the loop when you try and use OSS (not 100% sure on this though). There is also a thread on the forums with some options here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-347016.html Robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Now that that's out of the way, I have a box that works at the moment with ALSA + ESD + Gstreamer + Gnome that allows me to do software mixing and all my sound works. The problem I am having is that I have this constant crackle when I'm listening to anything. I know its not EMF because the sound was clean when I had Windoze on the box. Its not so loud that it makes listening to anything unpleasant but it is quite annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this? I saw on some of the newsgroups that people say this is an ESD issue but nobody seems to have a good solution. The card is some on board Intel High Def audio thing that Albatron ships with their mobos (can get specifics if needed). Any help would be appreciated. -Mike It's the gstreamer-alsa plugin that is probably causing the crackle. There are several bug reports in Gnome bugzilla.

I still haven't sorted out the cause, but judging from the number of people having this problem recently, I would say that some library/program (or maybe config file?) was changed recently to cause this.
