I'm wondering if I should change my desktop to KDE and try with its sound tools. I suppose it couldn't harm anything to try.
You can use KDE if you want, of course system-wide settings and user-wide settings apply in both. You can also run under GNOME, or even add to the GNOME menus the KDE applications that you like. Also CentOS 5 is far superior to CentOS 4, regarding user apps and tools, so perhaps you may want to give CentOS 5.0 a try, it is very good and *faster*!
What's your sound card BTW? Perhaps you may have some driver problem?
Just saw that you mentioned "am using the built-in (AC-97) audio hardware".
In any case, perhaps you want to try CentOS 5.0, it is far superior in everything!
Yes, I DO want to try it. But it will take me some time to prepare for the conversion. I want to do a clean install, so planning is required to be able to move over all my crap, mail server settings, etc., etc.
Also thinking of buying a matched pair of SATA drives (newegg has some nice prices on 160 gig WD and Seagate SATA drives) and using Linux's raid capability to do a mirrored pair, when I do go to Centos 5. But that's not going to happen in the immediate future.
