Hi, I'm bringing up two machines with alsa/jack/ardour. The first has a SB Audigy, the second (problem) machine has two cards - an Audiophile 2496 and a Hammerfall Light. Both machines are dual boot with different versions of Windows. All of the hardware works fine under Windows.
Sorry in advance for the length of this message - just trying to get the data all put together in one place. I'm a newbie, but not a total dummy. Just lots to learn. Both machines are 2.4.19-1..11 from planetccrma. The SB machine is working fine so far. It runs aplay and alsaplayer cleanly with no options. On the AP2496 machine I have a couple of problems: 1) aplay gives a loud click when I start it. The audio is fine, but it starts with this click. 2) alsaplayer has problems: a) If I start it with just 'alsaplayer' at the command line, I get two identical sets of messages (see below - PLAIN ALSAPLAYER) about an 'error on set_periods (7), and the player doesn't come up at all. CTRL-C to break. b) If I reduce the values set with -f and -g, then the player comes up, but while it's playing I get lots of clicks, along with message about resetting the stream. The message says 'xrun of at least 5.917 msecs, resetting stream'. The number changes with each message. I also get only one set of the messages about an 'error on set_periods (7).(See below - REDUCED PARAMETERS) The clicks are worse if I move the alsaplayer window around. c) If I add the -r option to alsaplayer, then the clicks go away, but I still get the startup messages, identical to REDUCED PARAMETERS. However, with -r the xrun messages are gone, and so are the clicks. I've put the output of lsmod at the very bottom. Can anyone help me understand whether this is a driver problem with the AP2496, or an alsaplayer issue, or possibly even an alsa issue, and how I go about better configuring the machine so these options aren't necessary.
