sound bad after -Syu

hi,

after i did the -Syu (mainly for amarok) now when i try to play in amarok it crashes or keeps repeating then crashes and when i use xmms it has little jumps in it (very annoying), i tried for both ogg and mp3. i am using latest beyond patchset from extra and also vanilla. i am pretty sure its the via82xx onboard chip

thanks

Re: sound bad after -Syu

Yeah, the Ensoniqs aren't fancy but they work well, I use one myself. As a matter of fact I installed it to escape problems with VT8235 onboard audio, although mine were rather different - basically I couldn't get it to produce sound at a satisfactory volume no matter what I tried.

Just FWIW... What packages were upgraded?
