via 686a audio driver rate locked at 48Khz
Hi,
I have a system with an MSI-6321 motherboard with the Via 686a
southbridge, and I'm having a little trouble with the via82cxxx_audio
sound driver. The stock 2.4.2 driver produces only a rhythmic a buzzing
sound. I saw a patch here a week or two ago for 'rate locking', so I
tried that (it didn't apply cleanly to 2.4.2, but I think I applied it by
hand correctly).
That patch makes some things work fine (e.g. playing a .wav file), but
others sound lousy (e.g. playing a 44.1KHz mp3 with xmms). Am I correct
in thinking that it sounds lousy because of the translation from 44.1KHz
sampling to 48KHz sampling? If so, is there any hope of supporting
Variable Rate on this hardware?
Below is copious debugging output, although not the output of
via-audio-diag, as I could not find it on sourceforge (and the gtf.org URL
is gone).
Thanks,
Wayne
