This dosn't sound good...

Doctor V:
its all of them, and not just VBAdvance, ZSNES also has the same problem.  But why would it work in root but not for any other account.  I was thinking it might have somthing to do with it being simply unzipped and not installed in any special way.  Still looking...

Master of Reality:
run... "lsof /dev/dsp". If it says esd, artsd, esound then thatcould be part of the reason..... because... if you are running X as user and the GUI you are using has sounds that run through its own sound server. Then the GUI might be trying to run sounds through the server at the same time as the game, hence crappy sound. Now, the reason this doesnt happen as root is because you arent running the GUI on root, so the sound for the game isnt going through the sound server (artsd, esd, esound, etc.). So, run "lsof /dev/dsp" and tell us what the results of that command says.

Doctor V:
OK, it used the command, and it says esd.  So does this mean ESD is the culprit?  OK, what's next?
