-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been helping a friend get Linux installed and we've run into problems with the onboard sound in his computer.
OS is Redhat 9.0, kernel is 2.4.23 (updated for nforce AGP support). Mainboard is a GA-7NNXP With the i810_audio module loaded, sound is distorted and comes in small bursts in some applications. XMMS running via ESD cannot play more than the first 3 seconds of any audio file (although using OSS for output operates fine). Loading the nvaudio module causes the computer to lock hard. The applications that have the issue appear to be the ones that use SDL (xmms and mplayer are unaffected, but chromium, quake3 and freeciv are). Updating the SDL libraries did not fix the problem. Installing ALSA did not fix the problem either. aplay/sox would skip over the first 1-2 seconds of a wav file (some kind of buffering problem?). XMMS was unable to play audio. He has some issues with sound under Windows XP, he managed to reduce them by using a BIOS upgrade awhile back but he's still having issues (RAID controller apparently takes over the PCI bus or somesuch, a specific issue with the GA-7NNXP mainboard). Loading drivers for the raid controller causes the computer to lock hard (it freezes, unfreezes temporarily, then freezes again). Attempted running esd using the -r 48000, issue persisted. Further advice would be appreciated - -- "They're just using religion as an excuse to be really crappy to each other." - - Dave Lister, Red Dwarf Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
