But on the later (2232 and 2263), I get many more > dropouts We are already aware of an audio performance regression and believe it be related to 2 things: - hal polls our battery a lot more than it used to, even when fully charged, and EC commands disable interrupts and cause sound stutters. (I'm working on fixing hal, I sent patches upstream) - the kernel upgrade from 2.6.22 to 2.6.25 also included some changes (which we haven't identified yet) which cause these problems. Downgrading to 2.6.22 restores the previous audio performance. Thanks for pointing out your test-case though! So far we have been reproducing these issues by using TamTamMini, TamTam is indeed affected. :( Here is the relevant ticket: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7603 Contributions welcome! It is a tricky one. Thanks, Daniel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
