Summary: No sound with Hercules Game Theater XP
Description:
Hi,
The Hercules Game Theater XP is recognised as a Cirrus Logic CS
4614/22/24. I have had this working very nicely (after some trouble) on
Mandrake 10.0 but I am having major prolems trying to get it working on
Mandrake 10.1. I have had problems with this sound card before on various
earlier versions of Linux.
I am guessing it's a driver problem (and posting here) since I only have
problems when I disable my motherboard's onboard audio (an Intel chip) and
use my PCI Game Theater sound card instead.
A base installation of Linux gives me no sound whatsoever. I have tried to
make sure that it's not just a muting problem because I've checked with
aumix, kmix and alsamixer and everything looks OK to me.
I have also tried with KDE's sound system enabled/disabled and still I
have problems.
After some extensive searching and tweaking, I could get xmms to play mp3
files for a while (although not now) but I then had different problems -
'tinny' output, playback stalling or noise when minimising windows etc,
and application stability problems and video playback grinding to a halt
when using e.g. mplayer to play something. (If I used "mplayer -nosound"
then the video played back flawlessly).
So, I guess it's a sound driver bug and I hope someone here can help me.
Mandrake 10.1 ships with Alsa 1.0.6, I have already built and installed
1.0.7 and it makes no difference.
I have also tried to build the latest ALSA from CVS but I get some
compilation errors that prevent me from being able to do so.

Thanks so much tiwai for pointing me in the right direction.
I disabled ACPI in my BIOS, booted up, and sound worked fine in KDE, no
stutter, and very nice quality.
Movies also played fine with mplayer with no slowdown or instability.
MP3 playback with XMMS was screwed until I cleared the Mmap mode checkbox
in the advanced settings of the ALSA plugin.
So, in short, you've helped me completely solve my problem.
I guess it's clearly not an ALSA bug, so apologies for that, and thank you
very much for helping me solve this problem.
