[NBLUG/talk] Sound distortion while scrolling/moving windows in X

[Dave Sisley]

Here's a weird one.  If I scroll in a window while listening to music, 
the sound becomes distorted until I stop scrolling.  It also happens if 
I'm moving a window around on the screen.  The system monitor & top 
shows the CPU jumps up when I'm fooling with the windows.  It's usually 
X that's at the top of top, but if I'm scrolling in Firefox, both X and 
FF use up the CPU.

I'm currently running Fedora 8, with Gnome on the desktop.  I tried 
logging into X with xfce, but it happens there too.  I'm using xmms when 
this happens.  I've tried fiddling with various xmms and sound card 
settings, but nothing seems to help.

It's annoying.  Thanks for any ideas.
