audio and video not playing fluently

Polako · 10-22-2014, 08:24 PM

my audio card is a fortemedia and this happens on any audio/video software

Linux - Hardware This forum is for Hardware issues. need your pc specs.
could you please inform us on what Linux distro you are using. the type of PC you are using. this would be a big help. The fm801 chip has been supported a long time in the linux kernel.
Here is a quick commands to see if your card is loaded.
to see output devices

Code:

aplay -l

To see input devices

Code:

arecord -l

to show the sound modules "drivers" you may have to be root or super user for this command.

Code:

lsmod | grep snd

for list of your devices

Code:

lspci

for usb devices

Code:

lsusb

most likely you will need to set up alsa so your default device is your sound card not
your video card with digital sound.
I would like to see the output to the first two I asked for plus the operating system.
if this is a google chrome and flashplayer problem also then there is a few reasons. but bad play back is caused by at least 5 reasons and they branch off to many other.

hi there.. here's the output for these commands... excuse me but i have ubuntu 14.04 in spanish.. so if you need any translation me or google translator will be of help

so... to "APLAY -L"

like i told you before i'm using ubuntu 14.04, and my computer is a desktop pc with the audio from the motherboard burnt so i have this fortemedia to replace it... i don't know if there are any conflicts between these two..

thanks mate.

Drakeo · 10-24-2014, 12:38 PM

first of right now your default device is your nvidia hdmi card. and the reason say like gnome-player and mplayer etc are even using your onboard audio card is because thats the way they build the programs to look for your full duplex card.

Quote:

If I was you I would set my /default card snd_fm801 in my /etc/modprobe.d sound.conf for slot 0

I asked for simple stuff about your hardware. and the usual reply to that is cpu and motherboard. Now since I have no clue what cpu or how much ram or what kernel your using . You need to set your default output as your sound card not digital sound on.

right now it is slot 1 . but if you have an old 1.8ghz single core cpu with 1 gig of ram. then I guess I guess we need to know what system what kernel what hardware you are using.
I also have 14.04 install to compile stuff for 0ubuntu and I am sure your card is well handled. I gues your using unity desktop environment this means we are also dealing with pulseaudio sample rates and only have partial alsa installed.

YOUR aplay default OUTPUT

Code:

tarjeta 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], dispositivo 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804]
  Subdispositivos: 1/1

YOU arecord default INPUT.

Code:

tarjeta 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], dispositivo 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804]
  Subdispositivos: 1/1

now your pulse audio is doing all the sample rate. get your /etc/modprobd.d/sound.conf set up.

here the ubuntu way i do not believe they could make it anymore complex. since they have two sound servers doing one job.

Polako · 10-25-2014, 07:32 PM

i don't get it... do you need more info to help me or should i do what the guys did in the link you posted?

Drakeo · 10-25-2014, 08:34 PM

cpu and ram ? did I miss it if I did sorry

Polako · 10-26-2014, 10:54 AM

any commando i can input so my system will display the info automatically?

i'm not sure about them... the ram is 4 gb that's for sure...

Drakeo · 10-26-2014, 11:02 AM

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Or

Code:

more /proc/cpuinfo

Or

Code:

less /proc/cpuinfo
