ok and more research for you
we can't afford to bork your fancy mobo. I "need" you to install the package in debian its called sysfsutils to provide the command systool I show my output for you so you can see the ways we can mod the modinfo parameters---I have a bint but you don't----giggles Code:
sudo systool -vm snd_hda_intel Intel, aspireblahblah, while boolean means off or on but translated to use "normally" 0 or 1 but you can see I also have -1 so for me, align buffer size default is off = -1 while for you to enable it would be a 1 got it? |

Turns out I've got "systool" right out of the box, and it kicks out the following: Code:
# systool -vm snd_hda_intel |
hang on, I thought we were going to keep your modinfo config file
according to your output you no longer have enable_msi (enabled) Ok so time to put your back into /etc/modprobe.d 2) You already have align_buffer_size = "Y" ---so much for my train of thought 3) Quote:
Either you ticked the box to enable graphic equalizer and CAN NOT SEE headphones in the pulldown or once selected no change to stutter? http://oi42.tinypic.com/w1vd6v.jpg above image shows I initially chose flat then captured image at headphone but not yet selected 4) Because your mobo is not in the model=string list, a model parameter is not going to work and because your buffer is already ok I am wondering if your build of slackware has the right codecs I was hoping vlc in slack would be the answer so instead a) Can you paly a youtube or online mp3 etc that you can link to that you know always produces stutter or nearly always produces stutter-----so I can test that its not the file format. 5) does your package manager allow you to see what software you have installed by search function? I am leaning towards either Slackware build of vlc missing some depends but to be clearer let me show some of mine? Quote:
ignore libxcb libx stuff as they are mainly graphical stuff In some distros you search for lib(something) while in others you drop the lib AFAIK Slackware is very good at packaging to the upstream name so if its called libcinderalla thats what you search for. good hunting ############## 6) eventually it may be that your sound hardware is good but detecting weaknesses in poorly crafted audio formats eg most wav files on audio cds are 44100 and may be low bits but I still don't know by looking at your specs exactly how high you can go. One thing that is still polluting my mind is your build the mobo has a number of pins to connect did you check these? Or another way of saying it, if you play any track, can you do it without any stutter? --if you always get stutter maybe we need to re-look at your build? |
and I may have been obtuse so instead of edit let me expand on my mobo remarks
plug in headphone into back jack, if no stutter then the mobo connectors that take leads to the front connectors are likely to be faulty or misplaced from memory these leads are about 8 and may have labels on the leads that may not match anything on the mobo? image is example only not your mobo http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/2298/0032xkw.jpg http://ask.europe.creative.com/wwima...ontpanel2a.JPG |

well at least we can eliminate hardware.
ok so it software. Have you tried other distros? LinuxMint is supposed to have all codecs? 2) In the meantime, in my Debian ---google chrome plays that track without stutter. video is a html5 type so we can rule out an out-of-date flashplayer 3) now lets convert it to mp4 (movie) Code:
youtube-dl http://youtu.be/zT2aVoUkSDg exists so your product should be able to install it Remember the purpose of this test is to reduce the codecs as the culprit, not eliminate if it plays in vlc no stutter you have codecs so if it plays ok you could look at using a diff web browser in future? 4) ideally you might try playing this file or youtube movie in other distros if they play ok, its a setting (config) in Slackware or missing codecs sorry if that sounds rude to slackers |
now a minor test, with a working enable_msi line seen in your output
can you reboot but use options snd_hda_intel enable_msi=1 1) I am prepared to guess you do not need a index value and hopefully alsamixer shows the same card (card 0) 2) what does msi do to your sound pls? |
ok I just had a brain wave
in my earlier posts I concentrated on alc88x for model=string, but maybe you could try alc880 settings of Quote:
and I think 2 at the front so that is 5stack part 2 back to bios, we don't want spdif---trouble shooting--interference--- so turn it off pls as your image has it on http://i.imgur.com/iju1V5d.png so try with full reboot---leaving off index and msi atm options snd_hda_intel model=5stack if sound works post your new alsamixer (assuming its still grabs index=0) if it doesn't then first check aplay -l then choose the card that shows up as NOT hdmi ie analog |
All right, I'm not sure what to think here anymore. So as I'm running through a few of your suggestions (specifically, as I'm waiting for chrome to build), the sound issue seemed to just resolve itself. Videos, both youtube and local played fine and even mocp was running with no issues. This was after changing a few things, but I had already checked and everything had been just as busted as always. Of course, I got greedy, and after changing the volume (master) in alsamixer, I tried to store the new settings (alsaclt store), and everything went back to how it was, stutters and all. So for consistencies sake, I'll run through the stuff I've changed and maybe something will present itself.

Hopefully this all makes sense. There's been a bunch of stuff going on with this sound issue, and it's making less sense the longer it goes on. |
A quick update on this whole chrome thing. I decided to try uninstalling chromium and installing again, you know, see if lightning strikes twice. I relies it wont mean much to someone not using slackware, but I'm just building it using a slackbuild that was created (found here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...work/chromium/), so all I have to do is download the build script and the source, and let it do its thing. If I start the build and let it go for a few seconds, I can then go (without having to restart firefox or anything) and start watching videos with essentially no problems. It also works for fixing my mocp issues, though there can be a stutter or two, but they are much fewer and farther in between.
So my next questions are, how to I figure out what this chromium install is doing to my sound? And why would saving a change to volume break it? God, I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted to... |

----vlc dependencies so if I am right ----could you post the dependency for your vlc pls 2) Quote:
did you do a mixer level store (save) ---if so and then you went back to something else and then tried sound, some of the mixer levels will be wrong and will cause issues If you did not yet try this, please do so 3) pdf page 38 ---Did you connect the spdif to the mobo? b) pdf page 84 ---ahhh ok you can only set it to spdif or hdmi (both are digital) does not hurt to try hdmi as you have nothing to lose here 4) Seeing something new, is always good I realize you are frustrated but, you are seeing progress I am leaning towards the files on your Slackware as we know Mint works Therefore its worth time re-looking at your vlc dependencies if you add more dependencies (unofficial) vlc might find them on reboot and work better But I would like you to eliminate the model=5stack as well pls 5) When you ran mint, you could check the installed packages maybe with Code:
dpkg -l > /tmp/mintlist |
Hi
Can you tell me exactly what packages you have for v4l (video for linux) http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien...lds/vlc/build/ as in part 2, I can spot he has v4l-utls but I am not sure if he already had v4l on his system ---I am not suggesting a build error ---just exploring why he does not mention the main packages EDIT ok from http://slackware.org.uk/slackware/sl...1/PACKAGES.TXT Quote:
PART 2 Ok this part of post is trivia using http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien...lds/vlc/build/ which I assumed you used the actual packages etc I search for those packages on my debian sid, I have stripped some to keep mine lighter but I get NO hits for these Slack dependencies ---but vlc still works mighty fine for me Quote:

Hi
EDIT post culled, got excited about missing libavcodec* but you use ffmpeg but which ffmpeg? are you using the restricted one, which should be better? http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien...mpeg/pkg/14.0/ DITTO are you using the restricted vlc? http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien.../vlc/pkg/14.1/ |

Code:
# readelf -d `which vlc` Quote:

Also, upon further investigation with the whole "building chromium" thing. So during the time it takes chromium to compile and build, sound works almost perfectly. However, it seems to break when the build finishes. I don't... like, I couldn't make something that crazy up. |
no they are not the same packages.
that does not guarantee that stutter stops but compare these 2 links as note they have diff hashes http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien...1alien.txz.md5 http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien...1alien.txz.md5 2) Daedra in post 7 linked to the restricted set so I am guessing that is the one you downloaded? so assuming you downloaded the restricted 64 version you will see that its md5 file claims 578a974865eb0a017c0bd42cf289f050 vlc-2.1.0-x86_64-1alien.txz so you would verify by Code:
md5sum vlc-2.1.0-x86_64-1alien.txz ###### waffle ###### I am also running out of ideas....if you keep slack also known as a fishing expedition stop and play a track to confirm stutter start build again and note what package is now downloaded and installed pause the build by pressing control key and c play a file and see if stutters no longer restart script wait until an extra package is installed etc etc at some point, package X is installed and stutter stops-----wishfil thinking by me report what package that occurs at do you catch my drift? |
