If saytime try to use something like that that might be the problem. I had the with ICQJava before I switched to the ALSA drivers (and before I switched to gnomeicu). Thus you might want to try the alsa drivers. As for your CD sound problem... afaik you dont even need the sound driver to get sound from our cd, if you plugged the cd audio cable correctly (but I suppose windoze players use this to make sound too, so the cable is probably not the problem). No clue on whats happening there. Did you make sure you correctly specified the device to use? I hope you can get things working :) -Lex
