Hi:
I am using a MSI KT3 ULTRA2 mobo. That has a VT 8233 AC97 sound chip using
the snd-via8233 sound driver. My problem is that sound in my games is
choppy, almost a stutter. This is true for the Mandrake games that
installed from the DVD as well as for Prboom that I download from
Mandrake Club and Loki's Heavy Gear II. I have a recommended install with
all of the KDE Mulitimedia stuff installed. I was hopeing that someone
could help me sort this out. There are no errors when a game is run from
commandline, and I am out of options to try. Thanks for your Help.

We share the same sound chip and same make of mobo, mine is setup
with alsa with aRts enabled, I too have a slight problem with sound, but
only
with cetain mp3 players, it too is rather garbled , wobbly , and I didn't
have this problem whatsoever with M8.2, but I have it this time with M9.0
Everything else seems fine. The commandline mp3 is worst, kde mp3 player
next worst. None of the wav file players or music cd players seem to
have any
problems at all.

John:
It is the same here. I just wish it could be fixed. I went into MCC and had a
look in the hardware module, sound configuration in my set up this is all
blank. Perhaps the problem lies there. My problem is that I have no knowledge
of what should be there to make it work.

Yes, your right , but I suspect it has a lot to do with transition from
the old linux
sound drivers to alsa, some apps are working on one, other apps on the other
The task of switching from one to the other is impossible to accomplish
with the
resources, human and mechanical, in one OS release. As far as I can
remember there
is a file in your home directory that has a direct control of the sound
system, trouble
is I cannot remember which one. If you figure it our let me know,
because I had
to tweek it to get xcdroasts wav file player to work, and I should of kept a
note of what I did , but unusually for me, I didn't.
Xmms plays my mp3's perfectly, even if the others don't play so well, so
this tends to suggest it's sound driver / application configuration
related to me,
as against mp3 or wav or music cd / driver configuration related, if you
see what I mean. Hard to explain that. Basically I don't think there is
so much we
mere mortals can do, we are in the hands of those exalted gods who
controll all
this, but putting the problems before them at least helps them identify the
nature of the task.
