Strange problem, via8237: audio playback too fast

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi list,

I've got an athlon64 processor running on 32 bit debian unstable distribution. The motherboard is a via8237 based Abit AV8, with a Realtek ALC65(8?) sound chip as I understand.

I only use the audiochip to push pcm via spdif to my amplifier. And everything used to work fine (i.e. different sampling frequencies) previously before I did a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' a few days ago (the first one in about half a year). And the following is what's happening currently when playing a 44.1 kHz track taken from a CD:

bash:# time mplayer -ao alsa:device=spdif audiodump.wav
MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team

Let's do a simple calculation: the length of the song (according to the cd cover) is 4:18.

  (4*60 + 18) * 41.1 / 48 ~= 237  -> 3:57

It's pretty obvious from the mplayer case, that somewhere the stream is interpreted as 48kHZ.

The odd thing is, that this does not seem to be a driver issue, since I'm running the same kernel (custom built 2.6.17) as before, when everything was still working. My userspace alsa version as of now is 1.0.13:

I've attached the contents of 'aplay -l' and 'aplay -L' to this mail, and I kindly ask if one of you guys could help me out.
