From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205 Description of problem: When I start KDE on an rh7.2 machine with kernel 2.4.9-13, artsd creates a high pitched sound for about 30 secs and then segfaults (or is killed by KDE because of CPU overload). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE 2. 3. Additional info: This might be an artsd bug, but arts was not available as a component in the component list. Still I think it is a kernel bug as everything works fine on 2.4.9-31. This is my audio hardware: i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0xc400 and 0xc300, IRQ 9 i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x4352:0x5934 (Cirrus Logic CS4299 rev D) i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 2
It's a sound driver bug - arts works perfectly with all of my hardware.
Can you try the 2.4.9-31 kernel? there's a much improved i810 sound driver in that
See the original bug report where I said: "... everything works fine on 2.4.9-31." I can't use 2.4.9-31 though as it oopses constantly on me when accessing smb mounted drives. Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't have reported this as a bug as it was fixed :-)
I think I fixed smbfs, see the 2.4.9-31.1 kernel at http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels
