Hello,

I am currently facing a strange problem with ALSA and Jack. I play electric guitar sometimes and I use my computer as a medium to output the sound. For this, I use jack, with alsa as the driver. Half of the time, everything is just fine, the audio output of my guitar is just what it should be. However, sometimes, the sound is completely low, distorted and with a lot of cracklings and looks to have been produced by an awful and very old synthesizer. Most of the time this is happening after I have been watching videos with mplayer2 (threw smplayer). But strangely enough, this doesn't happen any times after this. I have been looking toward to reproduce this, but unfortunately with no success at all. So I know this won't help to find where the bug is, but if it is an already well known one (I have very few hopes for this).

For more information, here is my system:

Debian Wheezy AMD64 (with some i386 programs installed as multiarch so that my printer works), up-to-date, running the latest available kernel (amd64, no rt).

Graphical environment is XFCE so that I don't have pulseaudio (it is well known, and I could confirm this, that pulseaudio does not live well with jack). However, I still have some pulseaudio libs installed (due to dependencies): libpulse0 (too many dependencies), libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (for kdevelop, which then needs libphonon).

My sound card is:

02:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium series [EMU20k2] (rev 04)
        Subsystem: Creative Labs SB X-Fi Titanium PCI-e [SB0880]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44
        Memory at fe200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Memory at fe000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]
        Memory at fd000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: snd_ctxfi

About the softwares:

jd@entropia:~$ jackd --version
jackd version 0.122.0 tmpdir /dev/shm protocol 24
jd@entropia:~$ jack --version
This is jack 3.1.1 (C)2004 Arne Zellentin <za...@users.sf.net>

Thanks for any kind of help in advance.
