I'm running Debian stable (sarge) up to date, stock kernel 2.6.8-2-686. The sound card is a CMI8738 (snd-cmipci) model 55.
I have a new sound-card (Trust item nr. 12950) on my system. The card works just fine as long as I don't try browsing my fat partition with mc. That's when the sound gets distorted and it has lower volume. The only way to get rid of this is to reboot. Reloading the module will not help. It might work if I first start mc and access the fat partition and then start the music. Using only the cli will not affect the sound. I even tried 'cd /mnt/music;ls' to get as close as possible to what mc is doing. Trying to diagnose this I split my big fat partition into 3, one of which I formated as ext2. Browsing this one and the second fat partition is ok, but the first time I hit enter "on top" of the first fat mount point in mc, the sound breaks. I included only some basic info about the box as I'm not sure what might prove useful. Here are register dumps: Before: C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xe400, irq 5 00: 02 00 01 00 04: 50 0d 00 00 08: 03 00 09 00 0c: 00 00 01 08 10: c0 00 00 00 14: 00 00 80 00 18: 00 00 80 0c 1c: ff ff ff ff 20: 10 40 f8 00 24: 01 01 00 00 28: ff ff ff ff 2c: ff ff ff ff 30: 00 00 00 00 34: 00 00 00 00 38: 00 00 00 00 3c: 00 00 00 00 After: C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xe400, irq 5 00: 02 00 00 00 04: 50 1c 00 00 08: 03 00 09 00 0c: 00 00 00 09 10: c0 00 00 00 14: 00 00 80 00 18: 00 80 80 0c 1c: ff ff ff ff 20: 10 40 80 00 24: 01 0d 00 00 28: ff ff ff ff 2c: ff ff ff ff 30: 00 00 00 00 34: 00 00 00 00 38: 00 00 00 00 3c: 00 00 00 00 I'm not sure if related but aplay gives this error (before AND after): ALSA lib timer_hw.c:269:(snd_timer_hw_open) extended read is not supported (SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TREAD) Thanks in advance for any suggestions Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
