Are you using a sound blaster compatible card? I have had the exact same
results for sound blaster cards on two different computers. I do not
know the answers, so I'll through it the rest of the list.
Does anyone here know the reason why sound quality on sb compatible
cards is so horrid?
The only suggestion I can offer is to try luigi's sound driver, which
should be discussed in LINT. Its a device or controller pcm, I believe.
If you have an awe32 or an awe64, and you are using the sb-device, you
may want to use those devices instead.
Another thing I have to say is that even though sound is horrid when
playing wave or mp3 files, sound should not be so bad if your sound card
is connected to the cd-rom and you use a utility (such as xcd) to play
cds.
(sorry if I'm repeating anything you've already done, I do not have your
original email anymore.)

Brandon
