I've been using the cs46xx driver since I got the machine back in November of 2001. Originally it worked great. I have two problems. One seems to be known and intermittently fixed. The other I can't find anything about in the archives. The known problem is with changing the AC state. With both kernel 2.4.17 and 2.4.18 (maybe others, I don't remember) if I unplug the AC, I get garbled output. To fix it, I have to unload the cs46xx, ac97_codec, and soundcore modules then reload them (of course, restarting esd and xmms). I had seen reports that the unloading of the modules wasn't necessary somewhere around 2.4.5; only restarting the apps with open connections to the device. I haven't tested that. The other problem maybe hardware. Like I said, the sound was crystal clear. Recently, the output sounds like I blew out my speakers. At first I thought it was my crappy headphones. I unplugged the headphones and the internal speakers sound the same way. It's just at the higher-levels of output (when my xmms eq display has lines that peak) it sounds fuzzy. The other interesting thing is that streamed audio sounds much worse than my actual mp3 files. Is it possible the card got smoked? I'm at least an average C programmer. I have done almost no kernel development; however, I will be glad to test, possibly debug, and otherwise provide what assistance I can to resolve either of these issues. BTW, I have set the thinkpad=1 parameter for the 46xx module. I'm not sure what other information you might need to diagnose this problem. -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug@lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
