Hi,
I just installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 on my computer which has a built
in VIA 8233 chipset sound. My sound plays ok in Windows and used to
play fine on a Redhat installation earlier.
Now, all the avi files have good sound but all the mp3 sound files,
the mpeg video files and the system sounds have real scratchy noise in
them.
Any ideas anybody!
(I did a reinstall: no solution)

Sounds like the sample rate or bit depth are too low. Look around your wm
(Gnome/KDE/whatever) for a config tool to adjust these. Good Luck.
