Re: [gentoo-user] White noice in sound
Hi, I had the same board... sound sucked from the first day on ;o) Your problem sounds like a PSU problem to me (this or some capacitors, that are getting old). If the PSU is driven near the top end of its specs or a little bit older, hearing any disk-and memory-access is not uncommon (at least, not for me. Replacing a cheap noname PSU with a not so cheap Enermax PSU solved my 'noise in the sound' problem).

[gentoo-user] White noice in sound
Hi, I have an intel8x0 sound card (on board sis 735 chipset on a K7S5A V3.X http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7s5a_v3.html motherboard). I've upgraded my whole system, had some troubles with alsa, and now I'm back to getting good sound, but after a while (I don't know the excact conditions, the sound changes in white noice and does not get good any more). I've searched the forums, the Internet and asked around, but all I could find is that it is probably some I/O error (something else using the registers of the sound device). But can't find anything more. Does anybody has some tips where to look? which files I should check for? anything can help :), Thx Jan --- Technical people are better off not looking at patents.

Might be software but it sounds more like a hardware problem either with the card or box. --- Chris Johnson |Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator |Web: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~johnson NMR Center |Voice:617.726.0949 Mass.

I have the same sound chip on my new mb and it does the same here. I monitor system temp with gkrellm and heat is not the problem (at least not here.) I've been trying to pin down the source of this for a while but it eludes me. Whenever this happens I've run top and check to see what is running that might cause this but that has not produced the culprit. If I do figure this out I'll post here.

I have some artifacts in the output when using the xmms-alsa output plugin, but ONLY if I use it in mmap mode. Disabling that and the sound is clear. Oh and the mobo has SIS 7012 ie a intel8x0 look alike. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
