After upgrading to Dapper on my desktop, my sound was completely hosed. So bad that the login sound kept repeating like a scratched record (remember them?) and hung the login process. I had to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and kill esd before I could Alt-F7 and login.
Worked around it by booting with the previous kernel. I think ALSA and OSS were fighting each other, but never worked out exactly what was wrong. Cheers, Carl. On 18/08/06, Douglas Royds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Before upgrading to Ubuntu Dapper, Totem was able to play every video file that I had thrown at it. I'm now getting badly munged sound on .avi files, notably those from our own digital camera. The audio codec that it's using is Linear PCM (not exactly challenging) at 88kbps. There seems to be something wrong here. Audio playback is fine from .mpg (a Sony digital camera) using MPEG audio layer 2 codec, and audio playback is fine from DVD. Suggestions?
