Hello, I recently started having some sound quality issues (and operability issues) with the snd_via82xx driver I use with the onboard audio on my MythTV machine. Specifically, when people speak 'S' sounds tend be slurred... as though perhaps some of the audio data were being dropped? Also, some OSS programs now refuse to run, specifically those using the PortAudio library for sound output (namely the kiax and iaxcomm softphone programs). This problem started a few weeks ago, but I've not had time to try to solve it until now. For the life of me I cannot tell what might have changed on the system to have caused this problem to appear. There are no error messages in the kernel log. The ALSA wiki page for this module (http://alsa.opensrc.org/Via8233) lists a number of fixes to try, but so far none of them has helped improve my audio quality at all. I am running Debian/unstable and I'm using the ALSA that ships with kernel 2.6.19. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- --John Gruenenfelder Research Assistant, UMass Amherst student Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
