Fwd: Crude fix for error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)!!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This older message is being resent, for the benefit of those suffering
from the problem
   error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)!!
while trying to dialout under the combination of snd-hda-intel driver
with modem activated by slmodemd (which has the current bug)

The crude fix is to use an earlier kernel, For Ubuntu Feisty systems
with 2.6.20 series kernels, Ste below reports that installation and
usage of the Edgy kernel+modules  enables recovery of modem usage

The required Edgy package can be downloaded from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
Under Linux install with:
$ sudo  dpkg -i  linux*.deb
Then reboot using that kernel and test the modem

For other linuxes, similalry try using the last kernel+modules set for
which the modem worked, or same some  2.6.17 or 18 version
kernel+modules specific to your Linux distribution

Ste has reported a success in recovering modem function, previously blocked by
error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)!!
by installing a prior kernel:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic

A detailed bug report has been filed with ALSA and we await a fix that
will work with current kernels.

Hello Rubens and Marv

I installed the kernel.deb from edgy eft 2.6.17-11-generic and with this
kernel the modem works and also sound works as before (but still only at
33600 while my external modem goes at 49333kbs).
With still the compiled alsa 1.0.14.rc4 drivers.
