Good news on the DVD play back issues I was having
with my iBook running Ubuntu Linux v4.10.
First I have to type: hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb
this turns on UDMA2 for my DVD-ROM
Where would I put this command so it is done
automatically at boot up?
I installed xine-ui instead of totem-xine and now
DVDs play smoothly without dropping frames. gxine also worked but
there is a bug in full screen mode that crashes gxine when you switch to full
screen. xine-ui doesn't have this problem.
Ok only one more problem to go!
=)
I'm getting a 'popping/clicking' sound when the DVD
plays loud sounds. The popping occurs over the iBook's speakers and via
headphones. I tried adjusting the volume
but even at low volume I hear audible popping. It seems like the
audio is clipping. It happens at all volume levels. gxine and
xine-ui both have this problem. I'm using the ALSA sound modules that
(I think) emulates OSS?
There is one weird problem that is also audio
related but tolerable:
The audio during DVD play back is synced with video
but the audio seems play at a lower frequency. All audio is deeper sounding that
it should be. CD audio sounds fine.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
