Today at 6:22pm, tom carlile expounded:
++ all was good until i decided to update esound by compiling the latest
++ source. upon installation and restart of esd, anything that uses esd
++ for sound produces sound that's very choppy and noisy. you can hear
++ the sound faintly, but it's mostly choppy noise.
I have had that symptom before. I'd had an IRQ conflict and there were
many messages in /var/log/messages about it. Can you play sound w/o esd?
Did you do *anything* else in between the last time esd worked and the
first time it didn't work, other than upgrade esd? It's probably not a
CPU-contention issue, but you could try raising (i.e. lowering) the
priority of esd. Or you could try strace'ing esd and looking for error
codes to write()s to /dev/sound. Might be a buffer underflow.
Good luck.
