Strange sound behaviour
I've installed potato on my laptop (NEC VersaNote VX), later upgraded to
sid. Trying to get the sound working, I've also upgraded the kernel
2.2.19 to the last release 2.4.18 via dselect using the appropriate
debianized kernel image.
The audio support is installed as a module in the kernel, and lspci gives
00:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82440MX AC'97 Audio
Controller
for the audio device. After some investigation I discovered that the
right module to load should be i810_audio, so using modconf I loaded
sound, soundcore and i810_audio. The last one automatically loaded also
the ac97_codec module. Looking the output of lsmod it seemd all OK, so I
tested the installation sending some sound files to the sound devices.
For example I issued the following commands:
cat endoftheworld >/dev/dsp
cat crash.au >/dev/audio
The result is a bit puzzling for me. The sound card seems to reproduce
all of the files at a very fast speed. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
