Hello,<br><br>I have recently compiled and installed libxine, so I can play mp3 files on Amarok. Both Amarok and Kaffeine now play mp3 files. However, the sound skips using any of them. If I play video, same thing. I suspect it has something to do with arts. When I'm playing Enemy Territory there's no sound skipping.
<br><br>If I go to YAST -&gt; Hardware -&gt; Sound -&gt; Edit, it says Sound Card Advanced Options and below &quot;AC97 workaround for strange hardware&quot;<br><br>Any hints?<br>Thanks!<br><br>System info<br>openSUSE 10.2
