Having one of these chipsets i sympathise with you, however i dont have your problem. > Trying to do so I get a continuous, annoying buzz, necessitating a quick > ctrl-alt-backspace retreat. So it seems the problem arises when kde is starting, this would point to the file (default sound file) KDE_Startup.wav found in /opt/kde/share/sounds/ The funtion audio_fd is another word for /dev/dsp (at least it is normally), I would simply move or rename KDE_Startup.wav and see what happens. The buzzing sound would possably interpret a missed interrupt or some interrupt sharing problem, if you use google.com/linux you may well see that others have reported simalar problems at some time or other. Of course it could well be that the .wav may be corrupted in some way and kicks the problem off. You could once again use strace to catch the problem, however be prepared if you do for one hell of a big strace file. > > This shows on the console: > > AudioIO::close(): entering > AudioIOOSSThreaded::stopThread() entering > waiting for writerThread to finish > AudioIOOSSTHreaded::writerThread() fatal error writing to a audio_fd > AudioIOOSSThreaded::writerThread() thread stopped > AudioIOOSSTHreaded::readerThread() fatal error reading from audio_fd > AudioIOOSSThreaded::readerThread() thread stopped > waiting for readerThread to finish > AudioIOOSSThreaded::stopThread(): leaving > AudioIO::close(): leaving > > Any suggestions to stop this buzzing sound? > > There is no sound problem anymore with gnome or fvwm2. > > lsmod gives: > > Module Size Used by Not tainted > bsd_comp 4312 0 (autoclean) > ppp_async 7552 0 (autoclean) > ppp_generic 15452 0 (autoclean) [bsd_comp ppp_async] > slhc 5040 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] > pcmcia_core 40032 0 > ide-scsi 9424 0 > via82cxxx_audio 19704 0 > ac97_codec 12296 0 [via82cxxx_audio] > soundcore 3332 2 [via82cxxx_audio] > agpgart 39576 0 (unused) > > Chipset: P4M266/A Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge > > AC'97 Audio Codec: Compliant with AC'97 2.1 specs. > 16-bit stereo full-duplex CODEC with fixed 48KHz > sampling rate. > Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro Compatible > > > Regards -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
