Hello, I know you guys here are helpful and will most likely be able to assist me in this problem!
Ok, I installed ALSA, since I was having issues with my SiS7012 card on Red Hat 9. I got it installed and everything working, except the sound seems to stutter.. so I looked at dmesg, and this is what I get from it reguarding the sound drivers:
PHP Code:
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:02.7
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0b.0
intel8x0: clocking to 48000
Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.24, 10:11:52 Feb 27 2003
So, I believe ALSA is not the problem, but that IRQ 11 is connected to more then one device.. so I did a:
cat /proc/interrupts
and get the following results:
PHP Code:
CPU0
0: 119688 XT-PIC timer
1: 6 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 198347 XT-PIC usb-ohci, nvidia
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
11: 53559 XT-PIC usb-ohci, usb-ohci, ehci-hcd, eth0, SiS SI7012
12: 59985 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
14: 22663 XT-PIC ide0
15: 11734 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
My thought is that the reason my sound stutters, and sometime my USB Keyboard freezes is because of the IRQ 11 sharing, could they be fighting with eachother over the IRQ port mapping? This is my diagnosis, not I do not know how to fix this issue, and my BIOS does not allow me to set the IRQ ports.. so I am now lost. I am a Linux
and could use some help.
Thanks a lot, these forums are a real help for those who wish to learn something new.
