Hi,
We have an P4 i850 system here, and the built-in sound device is
being used. It was causing instability under default Linux sound
drivers, so I installed ALSA (driver intel8x0). It works, but the sound
is accellerated -- everything sounds like it's recoded by Alvin & The
Chipmunks (whether you try .wav, .mp3, or a number of other formats).
Any ideas?
Now I know that i850 chipset isn't listed in the soundcard
matrix as supported; but it's supposed to be backwards compatible with
i840, and it actually does work... just the weird playback speed issue.
The relevant part of my /etc/modules.conf looks like this:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
The OS is RedHat Linux 7.2, kernel 2.4.9-21.
The relevant section of /proc/pci:
Bus 0, device 31, function 5:
Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA(M) AC'97 Audio (rev 4).
IRQ 10.
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff].
I/O at 0xdc40 [0xdc7f].
Any ideas on how to fix this most annoying problem, or if it's a
hardware support issue, what is the expected timeframe for the driver
fix?
Many thanks in advance,
