Re: [Alsa-user] Intel 810 (845) soundcard

[Robert de Geus]

Hi Frans, Somehow the tips you gave me are a major breakthrough! The advice you gave me to change the clock rate worked (somehow). Hope I did it right: alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0 snd_ac97_clock=41194 => i hear a sound! But; I have tested in multi-user mode (init 3) and KDE (init 5), but I have to keep on moving my mouse! Maybee some of you can deduct something from this. But it has given me the idea that sound indeed is possible on my system! Stopping the mouse thows the music in a loop (like a cd that keeps hanging)   Are there more options I can set? I tried changing the above value, no big changes only more clicks in the sound, and changing the buffer settings in KDE controll center gave unexpected results like sometimes no sound, but when I hear sound, I have to keep on moving my mouse. regards, Robert     >> Hi, >> I pulled the lastest CVS from sourceforge and compiled, what happens is that >> music is played for a couple of secs (too fast) and then stops or blocks >> using "aplay". >> >> Whenever I start KDE, the opening songs takes a lot of time to play, it plays >> only when I load the processor - >you mean when the kernel decides the processor has nothing better to do? >Btw, in the KDE Control Centre -> Sound -> Soundserver under 'general' you >can select 'real time priority' and under 'sound I/O' you can set the >'Audio buffer size'. >> so when the processor is busy, a little >> sound is heard and this stays the whole time till the whole sound has been >> played (might take about 2 mins), so I do hear the entire sound, but only get >> bits and pieces at a time. >> >> This sounds :) like a timing problem.
