Odd sound problem
I was using my new system with gentoo linux for about 2-3 months and my sound was perfect. everything seemed to work fine then I upgrade alot of packages (all were stable) and it worked for awhile after then something kicked in and now I can't get my sound to work properly with any distro.
right now I'm on fedora core but the problem are almost the same on every distro that I've used. Also it doesn't matter what sound card I use its still the same way.
Ok so the problem is that sound either repeats the first second of the sound for the duration of what the sound should be. example would be a wav that said "hello" it would be more like "hehehe" (gaim does this to me). the other problem is mplayer it runs about 2 frames a second when I enable sound (oss or alsa), but plays perfectly without it. but amazingly xmms works perfectly under oss and alsa (except it hiccups under load). this just confuses me.
Right now I have a gametheather xp 7.1 card in (cs46xx chipset) using alsa and alsa-oss (rpms from freshrpms via apt-get4rpm) but I have tired my onboard and a soundblaster live and they don't work in the same way described as above.
my system is a p4 2.4ghz in a shuttle xpc sb51g(sis 655 chipset) gametheather xp 7.1 and a gf4 ti4200.
The hardware is known to be good (windows runs it fine, but I just can''t convert back to windows after using linux exclusively for 2+ years). I figure there is something I need to enable/disable in the kernel acpi/apm/apic or something like that but I tried with no luck for the most part.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
