A week ago I decided to install a new kernel (2.4.24) since I was still running
on 2.4.23 on my desktop. I also added some of the pre-emptive patches for this
kernel. After a while I noticed something was wrong.
In KDE the sound suddenly sounded unusually fast. Setting a custom sample
rate of 48000 Hz fixes in the KDE control center fixes this problem. My .asoundrc
is still the same as it was before:
pcm.ice1724 {
type hw
card 0
}ctl.ice1724 {
type hw
card 0
}pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "spdif"
}
}After I noticed this problem I went back to my old kernel 2.4.23, without the pre-emptive
patches. I always create backups before I try a new kernel so this wasn't a problem.
I then noticed that the problem didn't go away.
So maybe the drivers were compiled against a wrong kernel version or something so just
to be sure I decided to compile Alsa again from source. Also no result.
I cannot remember if this problem occured before or after I installed the new kernel so it
might be something else.
I decided to install Xine to play some video since I had solved the problem by adjusting the
sample rate. After I started to play a video the sound stopped every 2 seconds for a millisecond
or so and then continued as it should (like it had an empty sound buffer and had to fill it again).
After I changed the "if !=0 always resample to given rate" from 0 to 44100 or 48000 (for some
reason it doesn't matter what I enter here. Maybe because I use artsd for Xine so it would
convert it correctly anyway) it worked correctly.
Does anyone know what went wrong here and how I can fix this? I only use my digital out to
play sound (as you can probably see from my .asoundrc) and haven't had this problem before.
Thanks,
Dennis
