I'm running a patched up 2.6.9 kernel with alsa 1.0.7 right now, I believe. I started out on a pretty stock 2.6.7 though. > I suppose I could try disabling > sound and see what the picture does. Do you have any more info on > what the specific problem was? On one of my 1080i stations, I got audio that sounded like it was underwater, unless I changed channels away from it then back to it, which of course, can't be done when watching a recording. I worked around this one by switching to native ALSA output and passing raw AC3 to my amp. Both my 720p stations behaved similarly to what you describe, a/v is fine for the first second, then went to hell. There were slight differences between running OSS eum and native ALSA (the audio chop was a bit different, but seemed to be the same problem). I fixed this one by changing ALSA versions. Both 1.0.5a on a 2.6.7 kernel and 1.0.7 on a 2.6.9 kernel have behaved for me (or am I running 1.0.6 on the 2.6.9 kernel now?...). > Could it be related to sample rates or something like that? *shrug* Beats me. > Thanks AGAIN, No problem again. ;-) -- Jarod C.
