why is sound not working properly ?
Debian-KDE2 colleagues:
I have all the latest potato kde2 packages installed here on my work
machine and home machine. Everything seems to be working properly
except the sound on my work machine. I have the same setup on my home
machine, but the sound works properly on that machine. The difference
is that the home machine is using the kernel-internal sound drivers
for the pci-card soundblaster-16, whereas the work machine is using
the kernel-external ALSA sound drivers for the Yamaha DS-XG PCI
(YMF740C) on the motherboard.
The sound on the work (ALSA Yamaha drivers) machine is garbled. It
works somewhat, but not entirely correctly. Basically, all
sound-enabled applications (such as realplayer, xmms, etc.) that are
not kde2 applications, the sound works fine. On the other hand, all
kde2 sound-enabled applications (internal wav player, kaiman, etc.)
the sound comes out, but is garbled. On the home machine, all sound
works properly.
I suspect an 8 bit/16 bit issue or some other incompatibility.
Are there any ideas on how to fix this? I have seen several
sound-related issues on this mailing list, so I apologize if this is a
FAQ.
