A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2147> ====================================================================== Reported By: Gene Heskett Assigned To: tiwai ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2147 Category: PCI - atiixp Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: assigned Distribution: FC5, uptodate Kernel Version: 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 05-23-2006 03:52 CEST Last Modified: 05-23-2006 16:46 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: lack of full duplex operation for ati-ixp chipset. Description: skype, ekiga, audacity, and generally any program that needs to both transmit and receive, using isolated paths, fails in playback when recording. In skype, I sound great at the far end, but reception may or may not work, with emphasis on the not. What I hear in the phones, or in the speakers, sounds like what you would get if you took a sentence of spoken words, break it up into say 5ms pieces, and play them at maybe 10 of these little snippets per second, so that the resultant sound is broken up to the point of no comprehension, and stretched in time by a considerable amount. In audacity, simultanious playback, or play one track while recording another, likewise fails in that only very short snippets of the played track are output to the phones or speakers. Likewise, ekiga suffers from this same effect, I'm told I sound great on teh other end, but I can't hear more than half a word occasionally. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 05-23-06 15:01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The driver works as full-duplex. Try a simple test with arecord and aplay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gene Heskett - 05-23-06 16:46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats not so simple, I have only ogg files from one cd available, which aplay apparently doesn't know how to play. I've not ripped any aditional music because grip cannot play a cd in the drive. Attempts result in grip (or most any other cd player, like kscd, go thru the motions of playing the cd, but only silence comes out), it can rip it, and a not very high quality rip (sounds like amplifier saturation to this broadcast engineer and audacity says the levels are running 0 db and above) was made. So I'm not at all familiar with either aplay or arecord. Can you supply a command line that would generate a file for test, and then a command line that will play that file while recording another, with no crosstalk between them? Something you *know* works so we aren't trying compare apple to oranges?
