Description of problem: When playing an ogg (or another format) using rythmbox, sound can suddenly go dead for a secound or so. Then it comes back, and the music has evidently played when muted (i do notice it quite clearly when a beat is missing from my loved jazz tunes :D) Another thing is that i can se a short peak in cpu just when sound dissapears, and also when it comes back. I do not know if this is an ALSA or rythmbox bug, but i'll post it here, just move it if its wrong. I got a ISA-PnP souncard (AWE 64), which was some trouble installing (didn't do it automagically), but this modprobe.conf did the trick: [kyrre@kyrre kyrre]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e100 alias usb-controller uhci-hcd alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe options snd-sbawe isapnp=1 install snd-sbawe /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-sbawe && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-sbawe { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-sbawe alias char-major-195* nvidia [kyrre@kyrre kyrre]$ (nvidia driver installed on 8k-kernel. But the problem was ther before as well.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.4 How reproducible: Sometimes, eraddically. Can be fine for 6 hours, and then come 3 times in a minute. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Sudden drops in 1-2 secounds when playing music Expected results: Continual music like i had in fc1 Additional info:
Is this under any kind of system load? Can you narrow this down to any particular files? Or anything else you might be doing on the desktop? Is that your only sound card?
Its been a while, but i must say that i havent noticed it in quite a while. Its gone. Maybe a kernel update fixed it? Anyway, its gone. Just close it ;)
Thanks.
