I had been trying to get my sound system work but I still can`t work it.
but i got some improvement in 5 days
first audi cd started to play
than microphone started to work
now mpg123 works and all other stuff but
mpg123 xmms and everything for sound works slow except fot audio cd.
by slow I mean in 5 second it playes the 1st second of the song. It is very slow. I would appreciate every help.
Possibly turn on DMA on your CDROM device? See 'man hdparm' for more info, search the boards, and if you can't find anything from those 2 things, feel free to post back, but basically, as root you should type something similar to:
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx
Where /dev/hdx is the CDROM device. You will need to have hdparm installed if you didn't get it during the install.
Thanks for help but what does my problem have to do with cd-rom?
my box can play audio cd normally
my problem is with mp3. i listen mp3s very slowly i mean the first second of the song plays in 5 seconds can you imagine how it is?
and thanks for welcome :P
and I also tried the solution you gave me. my box says
root@127:~# /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
-bash: /sbin/hdparm: No such file or directory
root@127:~#
Ah, I see, I mis-interpreted your problem to be a slow AudioCD As far as your hdparm command, it looks like it's not install then (or is in another location) if you'd like you can install it.
Ok, so now I'm not sure what the problem is, does the song actually move real slow like it's in slow-motion, or does it play normal speed, but takes 5 seconds before you hear a sound, then 5 seconds more before you hear another?
Hmm, do you have a decent CPU? Have you tried different sound options (in xmms)? What sound card do you have? (Post up the following (by opening up a terminal and as root typing):
lspci -v
So we can see things about your system.
Anything "odd" with your hardware you might wanna tell us?
