The following issue has been RESOLVED. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1058> ====================================================================== Reported By: ahessling Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 1058 Category: PCI - hda-intel Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: resolved Distribution: Gentoo Kernel Version: 2.6.11.6 Resolution: fixed Fixed in Version: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 04-16-2005 16:37 CEST Last Modified: 07-21-2006 02:28 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: CMI9880 sometimes produces distorted sound Description: I am using the CVS version of alsa-kernel from a few days and because of the soundchip CMI9880, I have to activate Intel HDA in the kernel. Sound is working quite fine in stereo mode, but if I want to play a DVD with 5.1 sound, all speakers are activated but the sound is a little bit distorted. xine uses plug:surround51:0 as the surround device. My asound.conf looks like this: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "svol" } pcm.svol { type softvol slave.pcm "hw:0,0" control { name "PCM Playback Volume" } } I also tried the one from http://www.sabi.co.uk/Cfg/ALSA/ Again, stereo sound works fine and also dmix does its work, but this time I only get stereo sound in xine although the same configuration of xine is used. I also noticed that playing some files using aplay produces the same distortions, e.g.: aplay /usr/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono Seems to have to do something with sample rate. Using the other asound.conf from the homepage above just gives an error: Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:857: Sample format non available Is there a way to play 5.1 sound without these distortions? Maybe some lines added to my asound.conf would do the work. Thanks in advance!

The sound still gets sometimes distorted, but only ocasionaly and for a moment only. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlrevell - 12-19-05 07:59 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you say this bug is fixed?
