ok, as per #42 I tried a couple of mainline kernels on my 9.10 install, following the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds
The first one I tested was the mainline build of what I currently run: Mainline kernel: 2.6.31.12 Results: no change that I could tell, same problems present. Next I tried the most current kernel (daiy build) as found at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ Specifically: linux-image-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201005011008_i386 Results: Well, sound seems to be fixed from what I could tell. I was able to play an entire mp3 podcast in totem, something I cannot do on my normal kernel. Same goes for video, in both totem and smplayer. Spotify was fine too. I would like to have given it a few days of testing to be absolutely certain, but unfortunately this kernel doesn't seem to work with my nvidia drivers and I'm stuck in low res mode while booted to it (any hints towards fixing this would be nice). So it looks like whatever was changed in 2.6.34 has fixed the issues with this sound chip, at least in the build that I used. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing -- sound stops and begins clicking and popping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
