How did you discover this? I mean by which program: alsamixer,
alsactl, or something else?
In the meantime I found that the problem only occurs when xmms is
used for playing music. xmms used to work very well until a few
days ago, but now it sounds horrible. Using mplayer instead makes
the same music files sound perfect again.
I may be a bit behind the times in using xmms. Is there a
replacement (with approximately the same user interface) for xmms?
Does anyone know why xmms suddenly started to behave so badly?
