now i just have another problem: i use centericq. and if i get an
message it sounds a little bit misterious. like playing the sound,
cutting the last part and playing again...
the files are wav. if i use the "play"-command on shell (used by
centericq) the same happens.
playing with mocp not works any more:
mocp: interface_elements.c:3267: iface_set_mixer_value: Assertion `value
>= 0 && value <= 100' failed.
and if i do:
alsamixer
i get:
hda_codec: num_steps = 0 for NID = 0xd
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
modprobe snd_hda_intel don't throws any errors.
the only thing i can here is a part of a title and that is replayed
every minute or so....
have you any ideas?
Kay
