Hello,
I'm not really sure what the right list is since I cannot isolate the part
of
the system which cause the problem :
I could use a little help on a weird sound issue I'm struggling with :
1. Description :
------------------------
When playing audio files, the sound has from few to many
"micro-interrupts"
(less than 1/4 of a second), randomly but frequently (so this is not hard
to
reproduce). This seem to occur :
. with any file (I can pick a random audio file to experience it)
. with either mp3 or flaac encoded files
. with mplayer (from the ports collection or hand compiled from svn),
either with oss or sdl audio output (although sdl seems to have less
"interrupts")
. with vlc
but
. not with ffplay
. apparently not with xine
. apparently not with amarok
-> so I doubt this may be a harware or a driver issue.
and on a almost idle 4GB RAM machine running only KDE-4 and firefox-3
no hints shows in /var/log/messages
2. Config :
------------
I'm running :
. 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD amd64
. full zfs (no ufs) (files are on a "slow" disk pool (5400 rpm) but moving
them to the "fast" system disk (7200 rpm) doesn't change anything
. on a (bios up to date) P5Q3 ASUS motherboard
. with snd_hda sound driver
3. Detailed sound config :
---------------------------
