What audio card are you using?

Yeah, onboard gfx suck, you'd be much better getting an AGP card (if
your mobo has an agp slot that is.) I'd just spend the the $40 on an
nvidia 5200, avoiding two evils in one (onboard gfx, and ati drivers)


However, I was able to play back HDTV adequately using an onboard gf4mx
w/the same processor. My current setup w/an FX 5200 is a bit smoother,
but the gf4mx wasn't anywhere near as bad as that once I got it working.
I did see similar behavior (fine for the first second or two, then
choppy), but that was actually an ALSA problem. ALSA 1.0.6 caused major
issues for me, which all went away both when downgrading to 1.0.5a and
bumping up to
1.0.7.


Weird. I am running 2.6.7 stock, and thus have ALSA 1.0.4. 2.6.9 has
1.0.6, which sounds problematic.



I'm running a patched up 2.6.9 kernel with alsa 1.0.7 right now, I believe. I started out on a pretty stock 2.6.7 though.




I suppose I could try disabling sound and see what the picture does. Do you have any more info on
what the specific problem was?



On one of my 1080i stations, I got audio that sounded like it was underwater, unless I changed channels away from it then back to it, which of course, can't be done when watching a recording. I worked around this one by switching to native ALSA output and passing raw AC3 to my amp. Both my 720p stations behaved similarly to what you describe, a/v is fine for the first second, then went to hell. There were slight differences between running OSS eum and native ALSA (the audio chop was a bit different, but seemed to be the same problem). I fixed this one by changing ALSA versions. Both 1.0.5a on a 2.6.7 kernel and 1.0.7 on a 2.6.9 kernel have behaved for me (or am I running 1.0.6 on the 2.6.9 kernel now?...).




Could it be related to sample rates or something like that?



*shrug* Beats me.



Thanks AGAIN,



No problem again. ;-)
