Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libsdl1.2debian-alsa
Steps to reproduce: #1: Install Edgy Eft final OR Feisty Fawn Herd 1. (tested on a "use entire harddrive" fresh install of both) #2: Confirm that sounds works fine on this laptop, by for example playing an .ogg file with Movie Player. #3: Install any game or software that uses SDL for its audio, such as almost any emulator (uae for example), or frozen-bubble. #4: Note that the sound coming from the software is "scratchy" and skips. If needed, I will record a sample and attach it to this bug. I am referring to onboard sound (but have not tested with external sound yet, I will do so in the next few days and add a comment). The onboard chipset listed by lspci as: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) This behavior was observed on this system before any config file was changed, so they should all be at their defaults. I am guessing that it's the package I chose ("libsdl1.2debian-alsa") because that's the one that is installed by default for SDL it seems, but I suppose it could be any deeper part of the sound system. I have also installed alsaplayer-command and alsaplayer-alsa just to test the performance of the alsa system, isolated from other layers. It worked just fine. ** Affects: libsdl1.2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Any software using SDL for sound on the Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi https://launchpad.net/bugs/75451 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
