hello whenever i do something that intensively uses an ide device (read cds with cdda2wav or starting up konqueror even) i get skips in sound playback (via mpg123) and sometimes the system slows down significantly too. i had the same problem with an old gigabyte board with kt133 chipset. after a bit of research i blamed the via bug this chipset is popular for, so i bought a new board with kt266a plus new ddram, but i am still getting skips.
my question is: who's to blame? 1.the sound card's driver (alsa 0.9 beta10)...? 2.the chipset's (kt266a) driver in the kernel (2.4.16 - suse kernel)....? if 1. : is this bug fixed in the beta12 release? if 2.: will the chipset driver ever be updated (kt333 or what' it's called is already on the go...)? do i have to recompile the kernel for some extra feature adding proper support for the via kt266a chipset? if any: does anybody know if one can tweak bios parameters to solve this kind of problem? a hardware bug it is unlikey since i have tested the system with an m$ windows install + corrcet drivers and it worked fine... i'm keen on what you think about this. thanks stefan -- if you want to have fun like we do... http://binarchy.net _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
