Well, it seems that I'm going to have to answer my own self ... :) The following is what I've been able to find using additional tracing info. Also there's a fix for usbaudio.c. Basically, it's as I said before: the usbaudio driver uses URBs without even checking if they're in use or not. Surprisi

[Alsa-devel] 1.0.0pre1: au88x0 driver locks up kernel

2003-11-19 Thread Carolyn and Eric Hathaway
I'm running RedHat 7.3 (RH kernel 2.4.20-20.7, gcc 2.96-113), and have a generic Aureal Vortex 1 card (au8820 chipset). Compiling and installing the 1.0.0pre1 ALSA driver works fine, but if I do a 'modprobe snd-au8820', the computer locks up instantly (can't even ssh in from another computer). Goi

Hm, sounds like the very definition of a hardware issue to me. ;) When I said "hardware issue" I wasn't refering to a bug in the hardware or hardware drivers... more of a "that's how it works and we're stuck with it". :) One of our other engineers has taken that exact approach. It just seems

Re: [Alsa-devel] Pops at start of song

2003-11-19 Thread Apostolos Dimitromanolakis
Hi, This is not a hardware issue. The problem is that the DAC of your card gets stopped in some other level than 0V and when you restart playback the voltage differential causes the pop (because the output of the digital to analog converter is AC-coupled). To perform a clean stop and start make su

Mark, I don't know if it's the same effect or not. We're working on an "embedded" Linux device. It has a full Linux kernel and basically is a hand-built distribution of stock Linux stuff, but is very stripped down and some of our apps are custom. As we're not using OSS in any way (neither a

Steve, You're the first person I can remember to report something very similar to what I'm dealing with every day. I get a huge loud cracking noise at the start of any audio operation that is not vanilla Alsa - i.e. - anything accessing OSS I think. In my case I think it's hardware based, but I'

[Alsa-devel] Pops at start of song

All, We're having a problem with some of our audio applications. When a song starts playing we will often hear a loud pop out of the speakers before it plays audio. It seems dependent upon where we stoped and the specfic content of the last song, if we hit our "stop control" and abort in the
