Hi,

I hope you can help me. I have a problem with my on board soundcard and
seti. I have a Gigabyte GA-7ZX Creative 5880 sound chip. I use the kernel
driver es1371 and it works goot. But when I run seti@home I got some noise
in my sound when I play mp3 and other sound. But it is not every time 10s
play good than for 2 s bad and than 10s good 2s bad and so on. When I kill
seti@home every thing is ok. So what can I do?

I have a Athlon 800 Mhz and 128 MB RAM

Try "freeamp".  It uses darn close to 0 CPU and may not be affected by setiathome.
2nd -- renice setiathome to '19' -- you only want it to use up 'background' cputime
	anyway

I also try freeamp with no success. Seti is also running with nice 19.

This is what vmstat 5 give out. When I play mp3 with xmms for 1 min.:

This board doesn't by any chance have a VIA KT133 chip set?

I had the same problem with my ASUS A7V and Soundblaster PCI64, 
and I know someone who had the same problem with a Gigabyte 7KX. 
Only link between us was the chip set and the sound driver (and 
the knowledge that it worked flawlessly under Windows and with
other chip sets on slower CPUs). 

So all claims linking this to CPU hungry programs or bad onboard 
hardware are simply wrong. Which Kernel version do you run? 2.2.17?

All I can tell you is that it is gone now. I wrote a wrapper
script around xmms to stop seti when xmms start and continue seti
when xmms exits. Not very nice but it worked.

Then one day I started mpg123 without stoping seti first. The
problem was gone. What had changed? The kernel version from 
2.2.17 to 2.2.18+VM-global. I don't know if it's 2.2.18 or the 
VM-global patch the made the problem disappear. I never digged
into this.

Try them, I hope it works for you.

Regards,
        Jo:rg

I had the same problem. I have an Athlon 1000 Mhz on an Asus A7V board
with a Soundblaster 128 PCI which also uses the es1371 driver.
Yesterday I upgraded to kernel 2.4.1 and now my sound is okay.

I also have 2.4.1 running but it do not help. :( 

I try mpg123 and there I can hear a time without any bad sound but after 3
songs it came back.

Rainer,

	I'm not too familiar with the ct5880 sound chip that comes built onto
motherboards.  I do know that alot of the AC'97 compliant built in sound
chips tend to let the host cpu do most of the processing involved in
playing the sound.  That being said, even if you have a dedicated sound
processor, mp3 decoding is very processor intensive.  It just so happens
that seti is also very processor intensive.  Both of these processes are
vying for time on the cpu.  Since both of these processes are so
processor intensive and the cpu can only do one thing at a time, the
performance of one or the other process will suffer from time to time.

Alex

Hi, 

I hope you can help me. I have a problem with my on board soundcard and 
seti. I have a Gigabyte GA-7ZX Creative 5880 sound chip. I use the
kernel 
driver es1371 and it works goot. But when I run seti@home I got some
noise 
in my sound when I play mp3 and other sound. But it is not every time
10s 
play good than for 2 s bad and than 10s good 2s bad and so on. When I
kill 
seti@home every thing is ok. So what can I do? 

I have a Athlon 800 Mhz and 128 MB RAM

You might also want to run setiathome with the -nice option...for
instance i *always* run it with -nice 19 so that it lays in the background
consuming otherwise idle cycles. anything wanting cpu time will then take
it from seti.
