When I first installed and configured all ALSA-related things, the sound was working perfectly fine, and I was quite pleased. Now, about a week later, I've started picking up this rather annoying scratchy static noise while using Audacious.
Some stats: Intel D955XBK motherboard with an on-board Intel High-Definition Audio (hda-intel). ALSA says that it's the SigmaTel STAC9221D A2 chip. And lspci says:00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01). I have the 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 PREEMPT kernel, compiled with SMP/ACPI. In my case, I actually compiled all ALSA-related stuff, including the hda-intel driver right into the kernel. Yes, I know, I should recompile and make all those as modules... Can I pass any options to the hda-intel driver when it's compiled into the kernel, or can that only be done with modules? I'm not sure where to look to fix this problem... I read something on Gentoo boards about getting rid of PREEMPT features, MSI, etc... but nothing seemed conclusive or evidently relevant to this problem. Could someone tell me where to start? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
