    Crackling sound on laptop Linux Mint XP dual boot

    Hello!

    I have Mint dual boot on an X60 IMB (xp pro). I was wondering why the sound is so much better using Mint. On XP the sound distorts (crackling sound).

    This is my first experience with Linux and...I kinda I like it.

    Dependent on the drivers installed on the O/S, they might have better EQ settings or perform within the performance envelope of the speakers... i.e not trying to be too loud causing distortion.

    I agree that Mint is a good choice for first time Linux users. I am using it on one of my four machines. I agree that sound is good. My biggest complaint is with video card drivers. Google Earth is full of artifacts with Mint.

    Back on Topic, there seems to be quite a few hits on this thread... what info do people want from it? I.e. Is there a big problem in trying to get Sound working on Mint Linux installed on certain laptops??

    Could have left it as it was. More hits is a good thing.

    Haha Rev, always the sales man.

    @Rik, I think Usergame was saying that the sounds was better on Linux Mint compared to XP... else we could just close the thread, or leave it for Hi0Jacking...

    How's Pia doing?
