[ale] Sound weirdness

[BruceG]

Hey all,

      I've got a strange problem going on with the sound on my desktop. My son 
and wife took the desktop apart, moved it, then put it back together again. 
Think it got smacked a few times (had a hard time starting it, constant alarm 
going off). It seems to run fine, now - and I can get sound playing CDs with 
KSCD. I also get sound from the Hauppage TV card. It has a cable connecting 
it to the EnsonIQ1370 card.

      The weirdness comes in when I try to play games, or play music with XMMS 
at Shoutcast. I just get static. No sound at all. I don't think it's a 
hardware problem as the connection between the soundcard and my Boston 
Accoustics soundsystem works fine when playing CDs and TV. I don't know where 
to start looking for a software problem.

      Any pointers? KMix shows the sound is up, not muted. XMMS is using the 
Artsd driver four audio output. This one has me beat.
