[gentoo-user] libmad sound artifacts
Hi; sorry to crosspost, but I know for a fact that gentoo-amd64 has a much lower traffic than gentoo-user. Some weeks ago I noticed serious artifacts in the sound quality of my desktop machine, when playing MP3's with Rhythmbox. It actually sounds like a hardware problem; a speaker cable which is shorting, or a speaker with a broken diaphragm, so at first I though my hardware was broken. But then I noticed that mpg123 and MPlayer don't have the artifacts, with the same MP3's, so then I shifted the blame to GStreamer, because Totem has also the problem. Finally, I was able to locate the problem: it's libmad, because madplay have the artifacts too. Everything that uses libmad sounds like crap, and I've recompiled the library with any option that it offers, but to no avail: the artifacts are still there (I can make them WORSE, with the default fixed point math). I see bug reports that *seems* to be similar, but for ppc and sparc, and those solutions didn't work for me. Other thing: if I decode the MP3 to a WAV file with madplay --output=wave:file.wav, the artifacts disappear. Anyone has *any* idea of what can I do? I'm not using normal speakers; I'm using an old stereo system, plugging the output from my sound card to the video input of the stereo. But it sounds really nice if I'm not using libmad. Any help will be *really* appreciated. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM

After all, sound playback works (in other programs). 2. What engine does rhythmbox use? gstreamer? If so, do other gstreamer apps work correctly on your box? That was the million dollar question. 3. With what options did you compile rhythmbox and gstreamer (if applicable)? Does not matter. 4. Lastly, this is out on left field, please confirm that rhythmbox is indeed using alsa and not oss Question 2 covers that. Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

It all makes sense in a kind of roundabout way: gst-plugins-meta installs everything, so rhythmbox does not DEPEND on it - that would force a user to have every possible plugin with no option to not have them (very much a gentoo no-no). -meta packages tend to not be DEPENDED on, they are there as a convenience for user that want everything and can't be bothered to put the whole shebang in world. rhythmbox DEPENDS on gst-plugins-base to give you the required framework that will handle the plugins you want (you get to pick and install them manually...) The question now is why were the alsa, oss and other drivers removed from the -base ebuild? I recall something similar with another sound app a while ago, the reason is that it could be used as a networked sound delivery server and there's no good reason to require the user to have sound driver support on the local machine. I suspect your bug will be closed WONTFIX, with luck the dev will justify their reasoning. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Wireless: Limit rate to strengthen connection?
I'm trying to strengthen a wireless connection that spans about 150 feet and has to go through about 5 walls. I bought two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164110 for either end of the connection, but I'm having trouble making it work well. I've noticed the connection will be perfect for a short time, but then disappear. When watching iwconfig during this process, it looks like the connection is good when on a low rate, but when it goes to 54 Mbps it falls apart. Should limiting the rate solve this problem? If so, how can I do that? I'm using hostapd on the AP and wpa_supplicant on the client. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] libmad sound artifacts
Hi; sorry to crosspost, but I know for a fact that gentoo-amd64 has a much lower traffic than gentoo-user. Some weeks ago I noticed serious artifacts in the sound quality of my desktop machine, when playing MP3's with Rhythmbox. It actually sounds like a hardware problem; a speaker cable which is shorting, or a speaker with a broken diaphragm, so at first I though my hardware was broken. But then I noticed that mpg123 and MPlayer don't have the artifacts, with the same MP3's, so then I shifted the blame to GStreamer, because Totem has also the problem. Finally, I was able to locate the problem: it's libmad, because madplay have the artifacts too. Everything that uses libmad sounds like crap, and I've recompiled the library with any option that it offers, but to no avail: the artifacts are still there (I can make them WORSE, with the default fixed point math). I see bug reports that *seems* to be similar, but for ppc and sparc, and those solutions didn't work for me. Other thing: if I decode the MP3 to a WAV file with madplay --output=wave:file.wav, the artifacts disappear. Anyone has *any* idea of what can I do? I'm not using normal speakers; I'm using an old stereo system, plugging the output from my sound card to the video input of the stereo. But it sounds really nice if I'm not using libmad. Any help will be *really* appreciated. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM

Not that this hasn't been said, but this is almost definitely a device driver issue. In my experience (and I've had this and similar errors on many systems), when it's a file system problem (i.e. having the correct FS driver compiled in), you get unknown-block(x,y) where x,y are both nonzero. That said, something definitely needs to be changed with your kernel config. I run several vmware servers (the free server), and have gentoo VMs on those. If you'd like, I can post my .config for you to compare. Or I could just look through the scsi options I have configured. When I configured my VMs, I remember reading the following article: (along with some trial and error, of course.) http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_on_VMware_in_Windows_NT/2K/XP#Kernel_Configuration -- Greg Postscript: As this is an error mouting your root file system, the fstab, which is stored on the root file sysem, doesn't matter at this point in the boot process.
