sound pitch changes while scrolling !!

hi,

when i scroll webpages or pdf files, the pitch of the sound changes..( whatever is being played with xmms ). whether its the mouse that i am using for scroll or the pg up or pg dn key, the same thing happens...but not always, but happens quite often to cause annoyance...

anyone's faced this problem before? what kind of an issue is this? to do with some irq or some problem with xmms..? could have tried some other mp3 player, but don't have anything handy right now...

TIA,
rpb

there is no such problem when i use mplayer...so nothing to do with the interrupts..i think its an issue with xmms. i checked the keyboard bindings for xmms; nothing to do with page down or page up keys. any xmms gurus around?

xmms will do that when it has the focus. you may want to make sure the focus is on your browser.
speaking of which what browser is it?

no, xmms was never in focus...

since i am using the browser, how can xmms be in focus..? it happens even if i minimize xmms window..

i'm just offering up ideas, trying to narrow down the problem.
perhaps if you're using firefox with the foxytunes extension it may have the same effect, maybe

hey mddlnx,

thanks for the reply...and sorry for forgetting to mention my browser. its mozilla 1.0.1. rings any bells?

thanks,
