Does anyone know what the state of the Maestro 3 driver is? My card is an "ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 10)", "Class 0401: 125d:1998 (rev 10)" according to lspci.
I've been having some problems with it under cvs ALSA. Things have got better over the last few weeks though. If I try to start jack with a shortish period time (eg. 512 frames) I get: Feb 5 14:12:16 dumuzi kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:118: Unexpected hw_pointer value (stream = 1, delta: -256, max jitter = 1024): wrong interrupt acknowledge? Feb 5 14:12:16 dumuzi kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:118: Unexpected hw_pointer value (stream = 1, delta: -256, max jitter = 1024): wrong interrupt acknowledge? In /var/log/messages (though I don't have a patched kernel, so that could be the problem) and generally get Feb 5 14:12:16 dumuzi kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/pci/maestro3.c:1486: bad MAGIC (0xa15a0302) In any case The main problem though is that when running jack the CPU use often jumps to just under 50% or just under 100% for no good reason. It seems like the CPU is being used up inside alsa-lib or jacks alsa code, but its not obvious which. I don't get this problem on my hammerfall or ens1371. Also, the SPDIF output doesn't seem to work, is there a way to turn it on? It isn't mentioned in asound.state. Please tell me if there's anything I can do to test or help. - Steve _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
