Hmm ic ic.
Well, never had problems with my soundcards.
With my sb awe 64 i used:
mixerctl -w inputs.dac=160,160 outputs.output=255,255 outputs.master=255,255
audioctl -w play.gain=240
And with my pci sb 64 card just the part which i allrdy given you since
this one doesnt know outputs.output.
However, this just helps in boosting the volume.
Prolly wouldnt help with scrambled mp3's.
I guess it matters which mp3player you use, quality of your mp3's, occupation
of your system recourses (so that the song aint being played with
a lot of interrupts because the fs etc is heavily occupied ),
support of the sound device etc.
I'm sorry, but i guess i cant help you further on with this.
Bye,
Mipam.
