Why would This happen I open grecord, record "mary had a little lamb" in 16bit pcm, 44100 stereo upon playback, everything is played rather quickly When I record at 16bit pcm, 44100 mono everything plays back at like half speed or slower all sugestions, guesses and tea leaf readings greatly appreciated. -- Gary Counsellor http://www.musician2000.com sineigs.all.attitudes@eskimo.com Please remove .all.attitudes before replying
I had the problem with the playback speed, also. The problem was with the ALSA kernel driver that shipped with 8.0. I found out from Takashi Iwai, from SuSE, on the linux-audio-user newsgroup.

I had the same trouble trying to record audio with Broadcast2000 (with SuSE8.0), which I never had with Alsa 0.5.x. Is there any chance that SuSE will put some Alsa and Alsa-Driver updates (as they do with new NVidia graphics drivers) on the YaST On-line Update service? I'm "tarball-impaired," and when I downloaded and installed the latest Alsa and Alsa-Driver RPMs from your personal ftp area, following your directions, I wound up crashing the whole system (segfaults, etc.). I reinstalled 8.0 with the "/" partition not reformatted, and got it all back, including datafiles. The only damage was updated files being replaced with the originals (KDE3.0.1>3.0, etc.).
the problem is the update of alsa-driver because the alsa drivers are included in the kernel package. that is, basically, you need to update the "kernel" package, which is really big. the update package on my ftp directory is a kind of hack (or workaround in the other word) from this perspective.
btw, the latest package should be ok. it looks like the alsa drivers were built with a wrong kernel tree for 8.0 system, although the kernel version is same. please try the new packages again.

The updated ALSA packages are at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/8.0/i386 I couldn't find the instructions about installing it all (they've been moved), but I remember having to use the command line (not YaST2), and there was something that had to be removed after the kernal driver installation. You might want to open the alsa-docs.rpm, first, to see if there are clear installation instructions. Broadcast2000 is now running just fine. /mel Gary Counsellor wrote:
