Hello,
I've installed debian and it's alsa packages just fine on my Via EPIA
mainboard, and configured it according to the instructions from the alsa
website. I have intermittent distortion when using the PCM. About 80% of
the time when I use mpg123 to play tunes, there is a crackling distortion.
It varies in intensity from attempt to attempt. Occasionally it is
absolutely crystal clear. The distortion never comes and goes within a
particular command.
I've tried using xmms to play the MP3's, and if the distortion is there
for one tune, it is there for all tunes for the entire session. If it
isn't there, then it will be fine until I quit xmms and start again.
Does anybody have any ideas about this.. I can send further information on
my configuration if necessary.. I've tacked on my modules etc below.
Iain
