Always the drivers for your sound card in linux is written in such a way that it has a more amplification than in windows. So you get a lot of volume and lot of distortions.

Somebody in this forum answer my question quickly ..though the error is not caused so often.

And i want to know how to connect from linux using my tata fone .. I am using tata indicom fone which has a inbuilt modem.

i also suggest a new idea to the mods.. Especially GNUrag ..
PLS PUT TWO LINUX COMMANDS DAILY AND WE CAN LEARN FROM THE MAN PAGES.. this way newbies like me can learn linux faster and better :p

the svchost.exe file if is made to end process. Then this happens. the file reloads itself but the sound system goes off. Even if due to some internal error svchost.exe has to restart u will have to face this problem

Myself and cnukutti are using win98.. so i think there is no harm coz we dont have the file installed.. only xp users may face the problem

BTW I WONDER WHY GNUrag is not here yet :?

What sound driver are you using with your Media Player?
And can you post the output of this command?
# lspci -v
