I asked about this same problem months ago with no luck. Maybe somebody has encountered it and solved it since then. Anyways, I have a Shuttle SN25P based system. I have standard desk speakers plugged in via copper wire technology. lspci says it has the following: 05:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01) alsaconf informs me of the ICE1724 driver and sets up its thing. modules that get loaded include: snd_seq 48192 0 snd_ice1724 68168 0 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 3072 1 snd_ice1724 snd_ac97_codec 95640 1 snd_ice1724 snd_ak4114 7616 1 snd_ice1724 snd_pcm 66248 3 snd_ice1724,snd_ac97_codec,snd_ak4114 snd_timer 18312 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 7824 1 snd_pcm snd_pt2258 3904 1 snd_ice1724 snd_i2c 4160 2 snd_ice1724,snd_pt2258 snd_ak4xxx_adda 6720 2 snd_ice1724,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_mpu401_uart 6528 1 snd_ice1724 snd_rawmidi 17280 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 6036 2 snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd 40880 12 snd_seq,snd_ice1724,snd_ac97_codec,snd_ak4114,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_pt2258,snd_i2c,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device ac97_bus 2496 1 snd_ac97_codec soundcore 7392 1 snd The only problem is that all audio playback is played at an insanely slow rate. Like 1/10 speed. No pops, no jitters, not infrequently. Sound is produced; it's just played back at a clearly wrong rate. ALL... THE... TIME..., EVERY... SOURCE. aplay, amarok, netscape-flash, everything. Both my normal account and root are affected (I have no other accounts to test.) I've read the posts, I've tried the various /etc/asound.conf files. They either don't work or wind up silencing the output entirely. Though I'm willing to try again if somebody specifies a particular conf file that appears to be geared to the SN25P/Via chipset this box has. The only configuration I have is /etc/asound.state which is too long to include here but I have provided it at http://www.csun.edu/~jeffw/asound.state in case it might help somebody figure out why this doesn't work. Does anybody have a fix for this? I've tried the drivers built into the 2.6.23.1 kernel as well as several since 2.6.20. I have also triedthe alsa-drivers. I even went so far as to reinstall all the entire machine (which is quite an effort to get something like sound working that should be cake considering it's a gentoo install.) After the reinstall it worked correctly... ONCE. I killed X, logged back in to restablish group "audio" for my user and now I have the stupid problem back. It has worked in the past when I first got the machine but then somebody, somewhere changed something in a kernel, drivers or distribution config files and it's never been the same since. (except for that one time today before I restarted X.) Any good ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
