I own a Toshiba 1700-300 notebook. It comes with a CS4281 soundcard which
is a never-ending source of problems.
The most important one, concerning the midi output, was solved by Clemens
Ladisch few days ago. The one I'm going to report now regards the pcm
output instead.
The problem is that the pcm audio pops.
The pops cannot be heard during ``normal'' operations like playing an ogg
vorbis file (with ogg123 or xmms).
But watching (and, of course, listening to :) a huge-bitrate film makes
them audible. I have to say that I use mplayer for this purpose and I have
to use its oss driver cause the alsa one gives a lot of desync warnings
(and a lot more clicks and pops).
Another way to listen to the pops is to fire wine (which I think also
uses the oss driver) with my favourite directx game: the sound is now much
more sluggish than with mplayer; in fact, it is so sluggish that I had to
turn it off.
Is it a DMA issue? (``cat /proc/dma'' gives ``4: cascade'')
A driver one?
Or is it a sound card problem which cannot be resolved?
Thank you in advance for your time,
Flavio Chierichetti
