Normally I use the SB Live! Value (CT4780) but = it came with a Dell computer, so I bought a SB Live! 5.1 Digital (SB0220) to make sure it wasn't one of those crippled soundcards. The issue occurs with both versions of the SB Live! I'm using ALSA 1.0.5 - Gentoo doesn't have alsa-driver 1.0.5a available yet. I have a rather unusual problem - when I try to use ALSA e.g. aplay, to play back a wav file e.g. one of the KDE wavs, it produces an odd output. The output is distorted, plays back really slowly, and samples keep on getting repeated. Once, it took over 5 minutes to play back /usr/kde/3.1/share/sound/KDE_Startup.wav. On a whim, I tried using XMMS through the OSS output - to my suprise it worked perfectly. In fact, I'm listening to MP3's as I fill out this bug report. I don't know whether this is a driver issue or a mixer one - the mixer settings are horrendous. However, I managed to get onboard sound to work (via82xx, now disabled) through ALSA and OSS emulation perfectly fin= e on the same PC, so it seems like a SB Live! specific issue. I've attached my asound.state in case it is a mixer issue. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- azrael7157 - 07-10-2004 18:39 CEST=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Midi playback via pmidi (using hardware or Timidity) doesn't work either. Haven't tried an OSS midi player yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- azrael7157 - 07-13-2004 18:33 CEST=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been looking into this further myself, this bug can be closed now. N= ot actually an ALSA issue, turns out it's a motherboard issue. I tried it in a different computer, and it worked first time. I tried disabling ACPI, sound started working again through aplay. It might be worth noting in the SB Live installation pages that users of Via chipsets on Athlon motherboards (especially the Abit AT7-MAX2) need t= o disable ACPI e.g. with lilo, add append=3D"acpi=3Doff".
