*grin* Hi, klerfayt... I just happened to check here and you wrote just minutes ago. lol I had Wesnoth installed already under Jaunty. Last night I did uninstall it and re-installed it using the Synaptic Package Manager with the same results; enabling the sound settings seems to max out the CPU, and when it does it is very random when it occurs. Sometimes the CPU will max out and then drop to reasonable levels before spiking again 30 seconds later. If I go into the System Monitor and stop Pulse Audio then bring Wesnoth back up, I can play with little CPU usage without a problem (without sound, of course). I have a relatively new Toshiba A205 laptop with 2 gigs of memory and never had a problem playing Wesnoth before. At this point its a puzzler, but knowing the Ubuntu community (and the huge Wesnoth community) I'm pretty sure an answer is on the way. Thanks for asking.
