Hi all, If I use mpg123 -o oss it plays fine, but I can only use my first soundcard. If I use mpg123 -o alsa09 it plays the same volume, but the sound is distorted. mpg321 has the same problem. Programs like aplay do not have the problem, so it's not for all alsa software. what do mpg123 and mpg321 have in common? and what makes them distort when using the alsa output instead of oss-emulation? the system is a AthlonXP2000+ with Asus on-board cmipci and a Hoontech ymfpci card. Both cards have the same problem with mpg123 and mpg321 and both not with aplay. anybody an idea? thanks, Olivier
