Re: sound problems with gnome 2.6 on suse 9.2

i updated my kernel to 2.6.8-24.3-default with YOU online-update.
now esd starts after booting. i can play music with xmms, watch tv with
kdetv (video4linux) and i have sound events in gnome.

but the quality of the sound is bader than before: i am using now
snd-intel8x0. so will try to reinstall the nvsound-module.
but i think that esd has problems with oss-modules. 

does anybody use esc with oss-modules? 


regards 
philipp
