Greetings,
First time poster here. I'm running Debian Sarge -testing and loving it. However, recently my audio has been acting up. While running, say XMMS or VLC, it will for no apparent reason suddenly be tinny. To temporarily fix it, I minimize (or maximize, or switch to) any of my open application and it goes away. The best analogy I can give is to think of a speaker cable with a loose connection. You'd jiggle it and it would work until it falls out of place again, so you jiggle it again. Same thing here, but I have no idea what's making it "fall out of place." It does seem to be worse when I'm downloading or doing anything that requires some processing power.
This is most likely a bug, but I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced it and/or knows how to fix it.
Now, I'm going to try to include all relevant info. Forgive me if I leave anything out. Let me know and I'll post it later.

So, anyone wanna take a crack at it? Maybe a guess at least?
Thanks,
