Re: Sound jerking with via 82xx soundcard
Hi,
A little update to the sound jerking problem.
If i unload most of applications, leave almost plain KDE, i can hear
KDE startup sound almost normally, just few flickers...
however no chances of running any kind of media player.. here's an
example.. i freed up memory, and launched noatun playing (jerking)
mp3, and looked for `ps aux` and `top` in console (see end). no signs
of high load problems.
anyone can give some references, where to start debugging?
Regards,
Atis.

Hello,
I just installed clean etch, and first thing to notice is that any
sound is jerking.
After noticing in kde, i tried amarok (with alsa and oss), moc,
mpg123, everything is the same.
At the same time, volume control work immediately, without any delay.
