Im really sorry about the volume of nonsense here :( Slackware 9. PIII 866 alsa 0.9.7 Has anyone succesfully recorded via the spdif input on this card using arecord? I'm getting lots of 'overuns' which result in jumps when I playback the resulting file. I've just built a new kernel with low latency but this has made no difference at all. For example: [jordan@bootsy new]$ arecord -f dat -D spdif 909track.wav Recording WAVE '909track.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo overrun!!! (at least 0.090 ms long) overrun!!! (at least 0.030 ms long) overrun!!! (at least 0.061 ms long) overrun!!! (at least 0.030 ms long) This doesn't look ideal to me either: [jordan@bootsy jordan]$ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 98023 XT-PIC timer 1: 1556 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 10: 108365 XT-PIC eth0 11: 14874 XT-PIC aic7xxx, ICE1712 12: 27245 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 15: 2 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 97983 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 If I use the nvidia drivers for my graphics card then nvidia appears on irq 11 as well. My bios doesn't look like it supports setting irqs, and I tried switching the slots that my ethernet card (eth0) and my sound card are plugged into but they still appear on the same irqs. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated. Even if someone just sais "no, it doens't work for me either", then at least I'll know that I'm not the only person who has wasted money on this card :=( regards, Jordan.
