I still get choppy sound even when the cpu is nearly idle. (see top

Ok, could be down to process priorities.
I just had cron run at 95% cpu for an extended time (no idea why),
and called my voicemail, sound was really choppy. Reniced cron to +1,
and re-ran the call, and it was crystal clear.
I then ran an install with opkg (opkg install lsof), which used a lot
of cpu, and made another call to voicemail while that was running,
got the choppy call quality again.
So could it be that the programs that handle the call are not getting
sufficient nice priority?

Thanks for your reply,
I had a look at what you suggested, but the sound is not so much
distorted as very rapidly cutting in and out completely. It sounds
to me like something isn't keeping up. It affects both incoming and
outgoing sound.
I've made some progress in narrowing it down I think, and I think
it's to do with something in /home/root. I keep my home dir on an
sd card so I tried taking the sd card out. After this the calls
appear to be fine, and on replacing the card and making another call
the problem reappears.
I'll start pulling apart /home/root now until it goes away.
mount | grep mm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/card type ext3
(rw,errors=continue,data=ordered)
ls -l /home/root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 27 2009 /home/root
-> /media/card

The latest round of sound configs distort the sound badly on a
phone call for me, and I guess this is what you are finding too.
The wiki has a load of info about what to do:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystem
I suggest making a test call and using fso-simplemixer.py to adjust
the volumes to something that works for you, then hitting Save well
before the end of the call. It would be good to take a backup of
the config files first just in case you want to restore the
original ones. I'm not certain where they are in shr-t but in shr-u
at the moment they are in
/etc/freesmartphone/conf/openmoko_gta/alsa-default.

anyone? pretty please?
it's actually worse than I thought, the person at the other end can
hardly hear me.
My freerunner is now unusable as a phone!
I ran QtMoko from an SD card, and the sound was fine under that, so
it's definitely something wrong with my shr-t install.

hi,
for a few days now all calls have had badly choppy incoming sound.
outgoing sound seems ok.
can anyone help me diagnose?
it's an up to date shr-testing freerunner,
i didn't do any software updates around the time it started.
thx
