[gentoo-user] Sound issues

[Jamie Dobbs]

Having just reinstalled Gentoo (AMD64) on my PC and setting up sound
according to the ALSA How To I can play audio files, in this case MP3's,
fine in XMMS but when I try them in either Amarok or Juk they are choppy
and unlistenable.
Can anyone suggest how I might go about diagnosing and fixing the issue
that is causing this?

Thanks

Jamie

Hi,

Amarok can use a variety of sound engine (arts, xine, gstreamer), but juk only 
uses aKode. So, the common denominator seems to be arts. Did you install 
arts ? If so, de-activate it and retry, it is known to cause problem since it 
captures the sound device.

Other than this general advice, I'd need more info to help you (what engine 
are you using, do you have sound in KDE (I mean "system sounds")...)
