Jumpy Sound with Sound Blaster Live!
 
Alright I just installed a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit sound card on my Fedora Core 3 system and I used the ALSA driver to make it work however now the sound that I get is very jerky and jumpy. Like somebody is spitting into a microphone. I've reached the end of my intelligence on this one and need any help I can get.

Have a stroll around alsamixer and try adjusting some things there. It probably just needs tweaking.
good luck.

I have the same problem when I try to play doom3. Or access my sound card using xmms etc. I went in to the options in xmms and changed the output driver to oss and now it works. But I'm still looking for a way to just fix the problem.

might be alsa buffer troubles
try this as a ~/.asoundrc (might need some adjusting)
Code:
pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dsp0 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmixer"
}



# this makes native ALSA apps default to using dmix
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmixer"
 
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw         
        card 0
        }

pcm.dmixer  {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024
        slave {
            pcm "hw:0,0"
       
            period_time 2
            period_size 1026
           
     
            buffer_size 2052
           
            rate 44100
        }
        bindings {
            0 0
            1 1
        }
    }
 
    ctl.dmixer {
        type hw
        card 0
    }
