| 252439 | 2004-07-17 02:03:00 | The idea is that I was doing it off the top of my head. Of course, the X server is being used as a sub-process of the main session, so it won't help the sound. :D Unless the X console starts the sound process, when bumping its priority would help. ;-) I haven't tried this. But I've heard the effects on my P233 laptop (with 96MB - unexpandable) so I sussed out the cause. top is a very useful programme. It's always been popular on real multiuser systems, when you want to know who's hogging all the resources. The renice command is one of its useful things -- increasing ppriority is reserved to root, of course; any user is allowed to be nice. ;-) |

| 252440 | 2004-07-17 02:17:00 | Rob: What soundcard do you have though?? I noticed the same sorta effect with my familys onboard AC '97 sound. It worked fine in WinXP (Celeron 733Mhz) but not in Linux. I installed Alsa and had no problems :-) You could always renice the oss driver?! Chill. |

| 252441 | 2004-07-17 09:10:00 | It is the onboard sound. This is from the pcchips website. C-Media CMI9738 4-channel audio Codec Compliant with AC97 2.2 specification Don´t mean a whole lot to me. Any help to you?? Thanks |

| 252442 | 2004-07-17 09:51:00 | The question begs to be asked: Have you installed Alsa yet?? |

| 252443 | 2004-07-19 01:40:00 | No not yet, the computer is not mine and is at a friends house, just gotta find a time to get there.......... | rmcb (164) | ||
| 252444 | 2004-07-19 02:18:00 | Hey Chill, the alsa website has no listing for that chipset. ??????????? |

| 252445 | 2004-07-19 02:38:00 | AFAIK It'd come under the CMI-8338 driver. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 252446 | 2004-07-20 02:27:00 | Okay. I am also going to try a pci sound card, disabling the onboard stuff. Cheers |

| 252447 | 2004-07-22 01:28:00 | Chill Just been playing around with my old p2 300 with Xandros. I installed a creative live 5.1 card and those sites play aok! Will try this card in my friends machine and hope....... I also have some other friends with the exact same setup so I will try the alsa drivers on them. |

| 252448 | 2004-07-22 02:30:00 | Yeah, the emu10k1 driver is a lot more mature than the AC '97 driver - Ive used it myself without issues in Alsa and OSS :-) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
