Hello! I recently installed the 1.0.13 version of ALSA. My PC uses hda-intel drivers (HP DV2020 laptop). I am running Ubuntu Dapper with a custom kernel. (wireless-2.6 + patches) I'm incredibly happy that this release fixed problems I was having with headphones -- there are seperate controls for headphone and speaker now, a vast improvement, since previously I couldn't get the headphones working at all. Anyways, since installing it I am having mixed results with various applications, and I can't explain it.. Sound in VLC seems to always work perfectly. So does the Flash Player on sites like youtube. mplayer often works, but sometimes just says "Exiting.. (End of file)" without playing anything. I have had no success with Audacity, it simply crashes. And PureData can play sound, but it's extremely broken up and slow, with error messages to the effect of "Can't sync A/D/A". So far the only debug message I've seen from dmesg is the following, after an Audacity crash: ---------------- ALSA /home/ssteve/projects/sound/alsa-driver-1.0.13/acore/../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:1714: playback write error (DMA or IRQ trouble?) ---------------- I should also mention that I'm running the module with the follwoing modprobe line: options snd-hda-intel model=z71v position_fix=1 disable_msi=1 Without disable_msi it doesn't work. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated thanks. I'm willing to do some debugging and testing, but though I have some limited driver-writing experience, I'm not at all familiar with the alsa internals. Thanks, Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
