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 On Tuesday 23 October 2001 17:23, Helgi Örn wrote:
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.
