Description: As reported in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-457951.html alsa 1.0.11 causes skipping sound in some applications but not others. Sound skips in rhytymbox and totem, but not xmms, realplayer, or mplayer. This occurs with default dmix setup (i.e. with no .asoundrc). Creating an .asoundrc like this causes the skipping to stop for those applications that skip. pcm.!default { type hw card 0 } This has been reported using the cmipci driver, the Intel ICH4 driver, the i915GM driver, and on a ppc iBook G4. On user reports that fiddling with the .asoundrc parameters can lessen the problem, but not eliminate the problem. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- snark - 05-09-06 18:19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I must precise that we were about to release ekiga 2.0.2 when our users began to report sloppy sound issues... and decided to postpone it, since it wasn't acceptable to release a new stable point which breaks so easily. :-( The fact that we have several users showing the issue also means that we can probably find beta testers for a real fix :-) I'll try to have them try the defaults.pcm.dmix_max_periods -1 workaround. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- razamatan - 05-10-06 07:52 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @snark: should the asoundrc file *JUST* have this line then: defaults.pcm.dmix_max_periods -1 ? i'll try it again, if you want.
