Ah, OK. I think rythmbox is at fault. I've just installed xmms and played some samples. Sound is perfect. I've been using rythmbox exclusively for a little while now and this is where I have seen the problems. In fact, I am playing an mp3 now that was great with xmms and is messed up with rythmbox. Thanks for the feedback, Tim. Cheers, Sean
