This repeating sound can only be terminated by restarting ALSA, via booting, or configurint via YAST2 (which restarts the ALSA). I searched the internet and found a SUSE-RPM for ALSA 1.0.10 and installed it, but the problem did not get fixed. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- snipepod - 12-16-05 17:33 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update from SnipePod 12/16/2005. I have experiemented with the clock parameter on the ESS Maestro 2em per the instructions for the SND-ES1968 on the ALSA-Project website. I have tried every option, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Option 0=auto-detect and Option 1 were the only ones that allowed any valid sound through, but both option 0 & 1 had the repeating/oscillation sound problem discribed in the original problem report. Clock parameters 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 would only create screeching static type of sounds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- snipepod - 12-20-05 04:47 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Identified Problem! Have a IOGEAR GPU202 USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus card that appears to have sometype of conflict (IRQ?). Had problems when installed SUSE with my Netgear wireless card, that also was some type of conflict with the GPU202. Installed SUSE fine when GPU202 was removed from equation. Readded the GPU202 after successfully installing SUSE, but now had the sound pulse problem. Had a hunch and removed the GPU202, restarted ALSA, and the pulsing sound problem appears to have disappeared. Next, I reinstalled the GPU202, and the sound pulse returned. Next, I decided to swap Cardbus/PCMCIA position, beween the GPU202 and the Netgear wireless (realizing that the Cardbus slots use different IRQs). Everything seems to be working, good sound, wireless and GPU202. Will monitor and report back if necessary. Cheers!
