I just changed the motherboard in my computer from a K6-2 550 with VIA
Apollo chipset to a P3 533 with Apollo MVP3/Pro133x chipset. I'm now
experiencing a chirping sound in audio playback and other artifacts. It
seems to be directly related to IDE hard disk access. I did a test write
like so "head -c 100000000 /dev/zero >test.dat" to write 100 MB of zero
data to a file. The chirping sound completely took over the audio sound
and my MP3 playing in the background was no longer distinguishable until
the write was done. Has anybody else experienced this problem or have
any ideas of what could cause it. I'm using ALSA CVS as of a week ago
IIRC.
Another unrelated problem is with another computer that has a via686a
based sound card built on the motherboard. ALSA 0.5.10 seems to work
fine. I tried 0.9.0beta8a and the card will no longer initialize
correctly. The modules will load, but looking at /proc/asound/cards
reports that there are no cards available, and trying to use any devices
with it will say the same. Anyone else have a via686a? Any ideas on this
one?
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some info or solutions to fixing
these problems.
