I finally broke down and decided to ask; sorry if this is old hat, easily covered stuff that I should have found in one of my previous google searches, but I'm nearing the throwing things phase. I seem to have a weird sound setup on my machine. I boot it up for the first time, try to play a video/sound file and get very choppy, dragging sound. if I run alsaconf, choose the first card (intel8x0 intel corp 82801db/dbl/dbm (ich4/ich4-l/ich4-M) AC'97, as opposed to the other device it seems to find... mpu401 snd-mpu401), run the config, save and the sound seems to work fine. then I reboot and I'm back to choppy sound. does this sound vaguely familiar to anyone? or even remotely sane? it's kinda pushing me over the edge, and I can't seem to find anything to fix it. I'd hoped to effectively disable the device by blacklisting the modules associated with the 401 device, but that seems to get me nowhere. blacklist snd_mpu401 blacklist snd_mpu401_uart blacklist snd_cs4232 blacklist snd_rawmidi any suggestions? -- Even the Magic 8 ball has an opinion on email clients: Outlook not so good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
