From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2 Description of problem: Dual athlon on Thunder K7 - used up2date to get new 2.4.9-13smp kernel and now have problems with game sounds. Xmms plays OK, realplayer OK, Kmidi is OK but Lbreakou2 and Rocks and diamonds make terrible noise *most of the time* They work fine in 2.4.9-7smp Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Fresh 7.2 install 2.use up2date to install 2.4.9-13smp 3.play rocksndiamonds or lbreakout2 and get noise. Also noise at closing Descent -3 Loki demo Actual Results: Got noise Expected Results: Pleasant sounds Additional info: RH 7.2 on SCSI Thunder K7 with emu10k based card (?SB live value) Nvidia accel driver loaded for accel x (custom made by make from .tar.gz files from Nvidia) Strange that xmms and Kmidi and realplayer all play fine... Again, earlier kernel 2.4.9-7smp worked fine -- it was the kernel I got from up2date that caused the bug. Did I get an Athlon optimized kernel? Or does up2date just get a default i686 kernel?
Created attachment 38143 [details] dmesg
Created attachment 38144 [details] result of /sbin/lsmod
up2date might default to the i686 kernel; there was no change in emu10k between any 7.2 kernel unfortionatly.....
2 more thoughts: up2date should be able to figure out If I need an Athlon kernel or an i586 etc. Could some other component be causing trouble? The SDL libraries? I don't fully understand how different sounds are handled/generated
Seems to be the same bug as 55493, and possibly 53803 and 55281. I'll post my comments to 55493 as that seems to be the best discussion so far.
Should be resolved with current errata kernels. If not please re-open
