Hi. Well, it worked under Knoppix, so I'm sure it's just me. I wiped Knoppix and installed Sid from scratch after my X windows mess up last week. Now that I've done it, I'm sure the X problem was KDE not launching correctly, but it's too late for that. Oh well.
I've just finished wiping and reinstalling Sid on a Vaio PCG-GRT170, which has worked before but got messed up with a Xwindows upgrade last week. Everything has come back except sound. mpg123 and xmms just hang until killed, and the following error is seen in dmesg: i810_audio: drain_dac, dma timeout? I've set the permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/audio to 777, just to make sure that wouldn't be the problem. Also... lsmod: i810_audio 24764 0 ac97_codec 13716 0 [i810_audio] soundcore 3940 2 [i810_audio] lspci: 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) KDE InfoCenter shows only one DMA-Channel, "4 cascade". When I cat sound.au > /dev/audio, I get a screech, so it seems that's completely out of time sync. The Sound-HowTo talked about kernel modules, which doesn't seem to be the problem here. Any suggestions? I expect it's a permissions problem that I just don't see, or the DMA that I just don't know how to make work.
