Description Alejandro Gonzalez Hernandez - Imoq 2001-10-29 06:07:15 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901

Description of problem:
After I upgraded to kernel 2.7.9-7 (+ all errata) the sounds made by the
"play" command are just very disturbing noise. This is with a Soundblaster
Live! mp3+ 5.1 soundcard.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find a .wav file
2. type "play file.wav"
3. hear the noise.
	

Actual Results:  Horrible noise.


Expected Results:  The nice "oh-ooooh" from licq, or any other noise.


Additional info:

The problem seemed to came with kernel 2.4.9-7, since I was using the stock
kernel for Enigma, or the 2.4.9-6 that was released a little before, and I
didn't have that problem. On a side note, playing music with xmms works
very fine, it's just the "play" command that licq uses, but I haven't done
any extensive research yet.

Anyway, here are the relevant files:

[imoq@home imoq]$ cat /etc/modules.conf

 Since upgrading to Kernel 2.4.9-13 I've had huge audio problems.  100% of the
 time I get very bad  glitches when sound is used after a quiet period. 
Sometimes audio plays back
 fine after the glitch, sometimes I get terrible noise instead of audio.
