audio skipping [Solved]

[ankitsingh]

i have creative soundblaster live EMU10k1x sound card which is not working in 5.4,(Perfect Sound in 5.2 :/).Audio plays very fast and suddenly BOOM.Any help

[k4ph]

Do you have now 2 sound systems installed, maybe phonon and pulse audio - or alsa and pulse audio?
Just a shoot into the blue. It's not much information you're presenting at the moment.

^There's nothing wrong with ALSA and PulseAudio being installed simultaneously; that's what's supposed to happen:

ankitsingh, have you run ALSAConf to set up your card yet? Open a Konsole/Terminal window, log in as root user and enter the following command:

Code: Select all

alsaconf

Select your card when prompted to select a card, and let ALSAConf do its stuff. Once it has finished, enter the following command to run ALSAMixer:

Code: Select all

alsamixer

Press F6 to select your card, and make sure none of the channels are muted and the volumes are at sensible levels.

Then try to play some music using a media player. As k4ph wrote, you have not given much information on your problem. Are you experiencing the problem in a Web browser playing Flash videos, or are you experiencing the problem when playing music using a media player (if so, which one)? If the problem is with a media player, have you tried launching it from the command line in a Konsole/Terminal window to see if there are any error messages?

I mean there is audio skipping (suppose a music is of 5mins but it finishes off in about 1min and in videos the sounds moves faster than images ) and this is associated with all applications (games,browser,music,video everything no matter what application used).I ran alsaconf but still its same.My audio system is completely useless.googling out i found that its a bug and all linux OS are affected.

I don't even have windows now on my hd that means i cannot listen any audio :/ Please help

[ankitsingh]

a workaround people did https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/659732

Installing the ALSA driver module for kernel 2.6.35-22 via

sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)

has restored sound when booting with kernel 2.6.35-22 and I can now play
music files.

The opening drums and music are not played despite being enabled in
"Startup Applications" and "Login screen".

The latter occurs regardless of which kernel is used.

how to do this in sabayon?

[Fitzcarraldo]

You would have to rebuild the kernel to make ALSA a module instead of in-kernel, then install the alsa-driver module package. However I'm not convinced that is the solution to your problem...

1. Which desktop environment are you using? KDE? GNOME?

2. Please post the output of the following commands that you run as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window:

Code: Select all

aplay -l

Code: Select all

lspci | grep -i audio

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/cards

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/modules

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep -i codec

It may be that changing the slave.rate in .asoundrc, as shown in e.g. http://alsa.opensrc.org/Via8233#Poor_sound_quality, might solve the problem.

Solved
I have GNOME desktop environment
http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title ... _genkernel I followed all instruction over there and now there is no audio skipping .

Thanks
