I got this tip from the list on the Xmms issue: ----------- On Wednesday 24 October 2001 00.44, Marcel Broekman wrote:
That happened to me too. Turned out the output plugin in XMMS had changed to the diskwriter plugin automagically after the upgrade.
and that was it. Now it works fine AND: no crackling! So in my case the crackling seems to be exclusively Noatun (KDE Media Player) centered. Cheers, Helgi Örn On Wednesday 24 October 2001 23.38, Curtis Rey wrote:
Yep, I have the same problem. My ES1370 shares an IRQ with the usb-uhci. So, this doesn't seem to be exclusive to SBLive cards. What I don't understand is what happened after the updates via YOU. I believe it may have more to do with ALSA then anything else. I have checked the permissions and such, but I'm at a loss as to why XMMS acts as though it's playing files like normal but has no real connection to the sound sys. In general there seems to be a few other problems with the sound sys. I play Tribes2 and have the record setup in both the OS and the game to use the mic for in-game comm, and it also acts as if the record/playback functions is working properly, but of course this isn't working (i.e. no voice sound playback - though it seems to record fine). I have gone to various sites to get help on configs and it seems that I have done all I know how to. Unfortunately, I am at a wall.
If someone has insight into the reason for this I would greatly appreciate some advice.
TIA, Curtis

I started getting these weird craclings when playing MP3 files in Noatun after downloading and installing via YaST2 on-line update. Some other silly things happened at the same time, like Xmms got silent but behaves as if it's playing the files. I run Alsa on an ESS1371 chip.
