I am playing with usbip to export an afatech dvb usb stick to a VM. It appears to work up until it tries to load the firmware (from the vm) and fails.

Neil Bothwick neil at digimed.co.uk writes: My sound started sounding like crap ~6 months ago. Eliminate hardware failure as a cause by trying it from a live CD. Agreed. Try first to use other components. Also, if your wiring is a mess, try to separate wires that carry power, from those that primarily carry signals. GROUNDING is often a source of problems. It could be a pseudo charging/discharging from a failing component, like a small ampliflier. It could be the build up of capacitance (evicenced by volume variations) followed by a discharge of the built up capacitance. Hard to say. So swap out components as practical, move wires around, check for intermittant brokend cables and check groundings. Sometimes the plug in transformer used to power external speackers does not have a ground wire (avoiding loop currents). Moving those modules to a different circuit in your home/office might help.

Can you temporarily disable it and see how the sound comes out? Walter, Thank you for your tip. This is the sort of thinking that will ultimately lead to a solution. I installed audio a couple years ago when setting up Gentoo on this machine for the first. time. I followed the handbook. Since that day I never again looked at my sound card setup. I do not know what is a sound server and I certainly never installed one (unless part of the install handbook has me install one). Assuming for a moment that I did install a sound server and that I want to disable it in order to perform your test, 1) How do I determine which sound servers, if any, are installed? 2) How do I disable them? FYI it appears I have phonon installed but not pulseaudio: * media-sound/pulseaudio Latest version available: 2.1-r1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] * media-libs/phonon Latest version available: 4.6.0-r1 Latest version installed: 4.6.0-r1 Thank you, Chris

I'm not aware of any. That could be done under Gentoo, via scripting, if someone is willing to put in the work. You would need a background process running emerge --sync *AS ROOT* on a daily basis, possibly a cron job. Then it would have to be followed by emerge -pv --deep --update --changed-use @world updates.txt Then parse the contents of updates.txt for a list of what's ready to update. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications

I am using a self-configured kernel (I have been doing this since I installed Gentoo two years ago) 2. My sound card is an Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 3. I am using the driver CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL 4.

I am using the driver CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL OK, that one is the generic driver. You most probably need to also enable the specific codec driver for your chip (not all Intel HD chips are the same.) The way I figured out which one to enable was to boot Ubuntu from a CD and then examine the output of lsmod. There I found which codec driver it uses. I then enabled that driver in my kernel.
