Debian-KDE2 colleagues: I have all the latest potato kde2 packages installed here on my work machine and home machine. Everything seems to be working properly except the sound on my work machine. I have the same setup on my home machine, but the sound works properly on that machine. The difference is that the home machine is using the kernel-internal sound drivers for the pci-card soundblaster-16, whereas the work machine is using the kernel-external ALSA sound drivers for the Yamaha DS-XG PCI (YMF740C) on the motherboard.
The sound on the work (ALSA Yamaha drivers) machine is garbled. It works somewhat, but not entirely correctly. Basically, all sound-enabled applications (such as realplayer, xmms, etc.) that are not kde2 applications, the sound works fine. On the other hand, all kde2 sound-enabled applications (internal wav player, kaiman, etc.) the sound comes out, but is garbled. On the home machine, all sound works properly. I suspect an 8 bit/16 bit issue or some other incompatibility. Are there any ideas on how to fix this? I have seen several sound-related issues on this mailing list, so I apologize if this is a FAQ. -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ |James D.
