Pentium M, 1600Mhz. Supports 600Mhz - 1600Mhz. 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 0537 echo -n "0%37%100%powersave" > /proc/cpufreq <play some sound, sounds fine> echo -n "0%100%100%performance" > /proc/cpufreq <sound is now about 2/2.5x slower>
It appears cpufreq's machinations really confuse the 'clocking' aspect of the i810_audio driver; if I hardcode clocking on the commandline, it behaves more sanely.
Repeatable with the kernel update (2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36) in rawhide ?
