[Alsa-user] intel card sound deteriorates

Hi, I'm running a T23 thinkpad with an intel snd card and redhat 7.2. I've updated to the 2.5.8 kernel to get alsa because I was having problems with the modules. But the problem also occurs with the new kernel. Everything seems to work fine at first but after about thirty minutes of

2002-05-03 Thread Derrik Pates
Well, the kernel OSS driver for the i8x0-family AC97 sound chips really, really sucks. The ALSA driver seems to fix the problem - comparing it to another system (using the XMMS tone generator) the sound is correct - however, there is one problem. mmap()ing the emulated OSS device doesn't work.
