I have puzzle for ya'all! Oh, joy, right? This is on Mandrake Cooker 10.0, so I'm not a real rookie. All ALSA packages are mandrake rpms. Soundcard is Turtle Beach Santa Cruz snd-cs46xx (I know, not the best, but hey it has worked well so far). fingers crossed!
Everything has been working perfectly, until the alsa 1.0.1 release.
Last week was fine, this week I have this weird volume jump on song
change.
Using xmms-1.2.8-2.mdk and alsa 1.0.1 (libalsa2, libalsa-data,
alsa-utils), kernel-2.6.1 w/ alsa-driver 1.0.1, playing local
files (ogg & mp3 - by song or m3u playlist) each new song start
jumps volume to 100% from ~50% setting. I lower volume and each new
song start jumps back to 100%.
AlsaPlayer does not exhibit this behaviour, BMP does the volume
jumps, but I'm not real surprised, since it uses the xmms engine.
Of course xmms does not do it on an audio stream since in effect,
the song does not change.
I've removed all xmms related plugins (alarm, xosd, cover viewer),
no change. Only xmms and libxmms are present. Have started xmms from
command line, with and wtihout strace, but no messages.
I went so far as deleting all XMMS apps, and cleaning all configs
for it from my user and root. Reinstalled and reconfigured, still
the volume jump.
Switching to OSS output solves it, but now playing streaming
audio fails! xmms just stalls with "Connecting to site IP"
I tried to Google for info, but nothing found. I can only assume
that something has changed with the alsa 1.0.1 that is not
compatible with the xmms-alsa-1.2.8 output plugin (?)
My .asoundrc (no magic here ;-)
pcm.cs46xx {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
pcm.cs46xx {
type hw
card 0
device 1
}
I can post modprobe.conf and proc/ info if needed, but I don't think
it applies. Does ANYONE have a clue? I've done everything I can
think to do in the last three days. Posted on the mandrake cooker
list of course, and no one else has this issue, and alsa maintainers
cannot duplicate it.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
