Summary:                    SB Audigy SE Not Working with Quake 4, Doom 3
Description: 
On FC3, I have compiled and installed alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2 and
alsa-lib-1.0.11rc2 in order to be able to use a recently purchased Audigy
SE.

Regular playback is working (speaker-test and aplay both work, as does
Amarok with Alsa selected for playback). Skype playback does work, but is
horribly choppy (unusable really), unlike my other card, an old SB Live!
1024 player.

However, the Audigy SE does not work with Quake 4 and Doom 3. There is
some output, but it is just a collection of random sounds. I have tried
both stereo and 5.1 configurations. Also, output must be sent through the
plug plugin or the games complain about a sampling mismatch (48KHz found
but 44.1KHz required).

"Also, output must be sent through the plug plugin or the games complain

This is not a bug - the card can only do 48KHz in hardware.  Apps should
use the "default" device, not "hw:x,x".

There are two cards in my computer. Using the "default" device selects
card 0, not card 1 (the card I am trying to use). Also, the Q4 / Doom 3
FAQ indicate that this  should not happen any more -- I realise that this
is not necessarily an Alsa issue.

 jcdutton - 01-09-06 11:04 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a known problem. Any snd-ca0106 based sound card will not work with
Doom3 or Quake 4.
Support for this requires a sound card buffer abstraction layer to be
added to alsa-lib. I.e. hardware buffer size different from application
buffer size.

Summary:                    SB Audigy SE Not Working with Quake 4, Doom 3
Description: 
On FC3, I have compiled and installed alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2 and
alsa-lib-1.0.11rc2 in order to be able to use a recently purchased Audigy
SE.

Regular playback is working (speaker-test and aplay both work, as does
Amarok with Alsa selected for playback). Skype playback does work, but is
horribly choppy (unusable really), unlike my other card, an old SB Live!
1024 player.

However, the Audigy SE does not work with Quake 4 and Doom 3. There is
some output, but it is just a collection of random sounds. I have tried
both stereo and 5.1 configurations. Also, output must be sent through the
plug plugin or the games complain about a sampling mismatch (48KHz found
but 44.1KHz required).

This is not a bug - the card can only do 48KHz in hardware.  Apps should

There are two cards in my computer. Using the "default" device selects
card 0, not card 1 (the card I am trying to use). Also, the Q4 / Doom 3
FAQ indicate that this  should not happen any more -- I realise that this
is not necessarily an Alsa issue.

So does the design of this hardware exposes a limitation in the design of
ALSA, or would you say the hardware is just broken?  Are you saying it
can't even generate interrupts at the period boundary at 44.1 KHz?  Does
the hardware design depend on some Windows feature (like sub HZ timers)?

I guess there were no soundcards with a similar design when ALSA was
written?

So does the design of this hardware exposes a limitation in the design of
ALSA, or would you say the hardware is just broken?  Are you saying it
can't even generate interrupts at the period boundary at 44.1 KHz?  Does
the hardware design depend on some Windows feature (like sub HZ timers)?

I guess there were no soundcards with a similar design when ALSA was
written?

Is this also why programs cannot mmap /dev/dsp for oss emulation?
