I have set up esd on a machine that has a via868 soundcard. I compiled the latest alsa driver. The sound works nicely without any problem. Even having several programs playing sound at the same time works (which was the reason I started using esd, so that galeon would stop hanging every time it came to a page with flash.) I had tried this earlier, but then esd added noice on top of the sound.
However when I try to do the same with a another machine that has a intel820 soundcard (using alsa here too) I get noise added to the sound, usually in the right channel. Same happens with artsd. Does anybody know why this happens and is there a way I can fix this? I'm going to setup for a third machine where the soundcard is via8233. thanks in advance. -- Preben Randhol «For me, Ada95 puts back the joy in programming.»
