Ken Marx: |I'm seeing intermitent long (> 10 sec) pauses in |the snd (voxware) driver, that look to be possibly due |to lost interrupts. | |This is on 3.2 and 3.4 hosts, AMD K6-III and K7, respectively. |Both use a Creative AWE64 isa soundcard. ... |Just to make matters more confusing, a friend in the UK is also |running 3.2 on an AMDK6-III, same soundcard, and can't reproduce |this problem. | |Can anyone please help? I'm pretty week on how the sound stuff |is supposed to work, and am kind of running low on ideas? So it's not just me! I too was running well with my Creative SB32 (mostly the same as your card) with 3.2R and my AMD K6-III. Upgrading to 3.4R, I also seem to see more hangs on close. 2) I also see much longer skips with mtv (the same mtv executable and same MPEG streams) than I did with 3.4R. It behaves like some bad changes were made to the SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE or related buffer-query calls. 3) Finally, every so often I get 3-10 second bursts of "loud" static (pops, and noise sputters) out of my soundcard when no app is doing sound. This never happened/happens on 3.2R so something is very likely amiss in the sound code. FWIW, I have both 3.2R and 3.4R both installed on seperate partitions so it's easy for me to multiboot back and forth to compare.
