[Alsa-user] Problems with Delta/66 card

[lloyd]

Hello -


I managed to get alsa (kind of) working with my M-Audio Delta/66 sound card but have some significant problems - would appreciate any suggestions:

1) All media play back too fast. A 6-minute mp3 will play in about 5:25; a RealPlayer video stream will buffer for a number of seconds, then get spit out at too high a rate in a couple seconds, and then start buffering again. In all cases the audio pitch is noticeably higher.

2) In XMMS, I'm only able to use OSS and eSound output plugins. aRts and Alsa are installed but XMMS quits with:

xmms: simple.c:1156: snd_mixer_selem_get_id: Assertion `elem && id'
failed.
Aborted

I'm able to play back in alsaplayer if I use the -g 4 flag, but the playback is still too fast, and I get some warning/error messages:

$ alsaplayer -g 4 -o alsa "Donald Fagen_The Nightfly_01_I.G.Y..mp3"
error on set_periods (13)

3) (and i wonder if this has a bearing on #1), alsamixer will lock up my system if I even touch the setting "Multitrack internal clock", which is set at 48K. Similarly, the envy24control utility will lock my system up as soon as I run it.

My system is a Dell Precision 410 workstation with dual PIII-500's, 512MB, and (the aforementioned) M-Audio Delta/66 audio card.

My modules.conf looks like this:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0


Any ideas?


Thanks!
