This might work, go to preferences (in gaim), from the tools menu and turn off sounds by unchecking boxes under sound events.
Hi there I have a Compaq Presario x1096. I can play CDs and mp3s pretty well on Knoppix 3.4. However when GAIM makes a sounds while I'm playing some songs, the whole sound card screws up and won't play anymore!! Any pointers? Thx!

Hey thx!
Is there a more permanent solution to fix it though?
