Public bug reported:
Using kernel 2.6.27-7 on 8.10, sound is output in a stuttering, choppy, way, as if each moment of sound is followed by about an equal moment of silence. Sometimes the login sound is played correctly on first boot, but the problem begins if I try to play any sound. Happens with every sound source - mp3, ogg, audio CDs. This doesn't happen with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (i.e. I can boot with the old kernel and sound works correctly) The machine is a Toshiba Equium. This install began at Gutsy, and was upgraded to Hardy and then Intrepid. Previously (separate install on the same machine), I had a slightly similar problem in the distant past (maybe broken in Dapper, fixed in Edgy or Feisty?). The only possibly-relevant change I can recall making is setting up ath5k drivers (as suggested in the 8.10 release notes). attaching output, for both versions, of: lscpci -vv cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/interrupts (note the new rad...@pci entry on 17) With old kernel (working): http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=238a19b43625de535ee64d25cb9698079f47c1e6 With new kernel (not working): http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ad1c361ddee7b0e4f33803390e1122512d6325e9 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ATI IXP AC97: sound regression between 2.6.24-16 and 2.6.27-11 kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
