Hi ,
I have an audio biggie with my old laptop, which can't seem to play
audio (mp3,ogg) or video (the sound part) (flv) with mplayer , mpg321
, xmms or mp3blaster. The sound is choppy, all I get is noise. From what I've
read (google) there were some issues of the kind a few years ago, but
no recent problem reports similar to mine exist. I start aucat as root
with "nice -n 20 aucat -l -b 7000 -m play -f /dev/audio0" then "mplayer
(or other players) <filename>" . I searched the misc@ archives to no end.
Even if I start aucat only with the -l flag (without the other options), the
result is the same. The CPU load does not spike while playing, nor after. I've
played audio/video on this machine in the past without issues, even though it's
somewhat underpowered. Here's the dmesg and sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
