Hello all,

I hope someone can help me out here, as this is a real stickler of a problem.

I want to simulcast (live stream via mp3) 4 NOAA Weather Radio stations that are broadcast locally. Fine...I install Icecast and Darkice on all 4 machines. 3 of the machines are identical: using a SB Live! 5.1 sound card on a P4 3 ghz machine and 1.5 GB of RAM, all is well, using an ASUS motherboard from SW Technologies. The streaming works fine on all 3 machines.

But a 4th machine is different. It has only 512 MB of RAM, comes from HP, and uses an HDA Intel, Chip: Realtek ALC260 sound card. I can hear the audio from the internal speaker when I crank it using alsamixer (and I did check the inputs on alsamixer; the radio is connected to the microphone jack, and the occasional skipping audio I get indicates that part is configured OK). Using the same settings as the other machines, the audio either "skips" or doesn't come across at all. I am wondering:

Is it the Intel sound card? Should I get a new SB Live! card?


I would say this is the likely culprit as I've just set up Knoppmyth on a few Intel D945 boards with HDA and also had problems.

HOWEVER.

Updating those machines to the latest ALSA soon fixed the problem. It's a pain in the behind but it works and is definitely worth it. The Intel HDA is as good if not better than Creative's effort. It truly is HD sound.

Is it because I only have 512 MB of RAM?

Not likely


Is it something else?

Icecast error logs show no errors. Access logs show normal (x's are in place of IP's):

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Aug/2006:10:59:19 -0500] "SOURCE /wx13 HTTP/1.0" 200 19 "-" "DarkIce/0.14 (http://darkice.sourceforge.net/)" 263 131.1xx.xx.xx - - [15/Aug/2006:10:59:19 -0500] "GET /wx13 HTTP/1.1" 200 2084831 "-" "NSPlayer/11.0.5358.4827 WMFSDK/11.0" 253

Comments? Any help greatly appreciated. Stumped...
