Dell Latitude CSx H w/ ESS Maestro 2E chip When sndconfig is run, & the sample plays, it sounds very distorted. However the same sample played from command line is fine (as are other sounds). lsmod output is the same before & after a sndconfig (see below). lsmod output: Module Size Used by nls_cp437 3876 2 (autoclean) vfat 9404 1 (autoclean) fat 30688 1 (autoclean) [vfat] ds 6280 2 i82365 21668 2 pcmcia_core 44160 0 [ds i82365] autofs 9124 2 (autoclean) lockd 31176 1 (autoclean) sunrpc 52964 1 (autoclean) [lockd] agpgart 18600 0 (unused) maestro 26820 0 soundcore 2596 2 [maestro] usb-uhci 19052 0 (unused) usbcore 42088 1 [usb-uhci] modules.conf: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 maestro
Distorted in what way? Also, how are you playing it from the commandline later where it works?
It is distorted in that it sounds more like someone playing a heavy metal guitar as opposed to someone speaking :). Very, very scratchy & distorted. [root@localhost sndconfig]# play sample.au
Aha, we need to use sox in sndconfig as opposed to just throwing the data at /dev/audio. Fixed in CVS, will be in sndconfig-0.56-1.
