Kernel sound problems
I have been running kernel 2.4.1 without any problems for some time now on my Debian (woody) box. I just tried to upgrade to 2.4.4, but now mp3's don't play properly - it's just a bunch of static and the time ticks over really slowly (thats in xmms, but the same problem also occurs in mpg123). CD's play fine. Here's my configuration: Athlon 800MHz 192 MB RAM es1371 sound card (compiled into the kernel) Any ideas as to what the problem could be - everything worked fine for 2.4.1, but any release since (2.4.2, 2.4.3 and 2.4.4) all have this problem?

Sorry again for the mis-information... You should upgrade your nas, the current version (1.2p5-9) will not open /dev/nas unless playing a sound file. Torsten

Hi, Sorry for replying my own post, but... On Fri, Mar 12, 1999 at 12:58:09PM +0100, Antal Ritter wrote: ... However when I attempt to use mpg123 to play mp3 files I recieve the following error. Can't open /dev/dsp! I had the same problem. That's true... I compiled sound support as modules, so I need to specify io,irq,dma and dma16 parameters when the modules are loaded. Without specifying dma16 I could use bplay, the mixer worked, but mpg123 was not able to play. Providing dma16 solved the problem for me.

Can you shed any light on my problem? (I also noticed that the config script for the kernel never asked for io/irq/dma etc.. addresses what's up?) Just add the configuration to the /etc/modutils/options file and then run update-modules, that will do the trick. It did for me:-) I've got an AWE32 PNP with a 2.2.3 kernel running with no problems. -- Pedro Guerreiro (aka digito)([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Diplomacy: the art of letting someone have your own way.

Re: Upgrade to 2.2.1 kernel, sound problems
Are you upgrading from a 2.0.x series kernel? If so, there are a number of changes to the way sound is set up -- read the docs in Documentation/sound. Especially if you compiled sound support as a module (which I'm guessing you did since you weren't asked to configure it), it would be a good idea to take a look at README.modules.

Re: Upgrade to 2.2.1 kernel, sound problems
Also, there were several updates to the AWE driver (as well as data-corruption fixes) between 2.2.1 and 2.2.3). It might be a good idea to update to the current sources. I don't think there's a .deb version of 2.2.3 on the main debian site yet... but I believe that http://netgod.net/ has the debianized source/image.
