Re: [AG-TECH] 'Warbled' Sound under Linux
Consolidating some of your video capture slots with something like this:

Then get a PCI soundcard that is known to work with the latest ALSA. I
recommend a Soundblaster 512 PCI. I have not had luck with the Audigy
cards at all.
I would try configuring and testing audio without other devices in the
computer. Other devices might be interfering with the audio or making
your motherboard squirrelly.
Cheers.

Initially I was trying to use an onboard SB Audigy 24bit with ALSA. Sadly
recording is not supported. Then I tried OSS, but despite claiming support
for recording, it doesn't work.
So I've bought a Terratec USB 5.1 MkII card (all PCI slots are used by
capture
cards) which uses the generic snd-usb-audio driver. Using ALSA rat
leaves me
shafted, as it doesn't even start up with a failed assertion. I might
poke at
this later although I suspect this is a painful road.
Using OSS rat with ALSA (using OSS emulation) works, and recording works
perfectly. Playback however is shoddy, with it sounding warbled. As
far as I
can gather it's trying to repair the audio (as it sound different with
different repair schemes) but there's no packet loss. If I add
redundancy to
the stream, the audio sounds fine, as does it if I drop to 8kHz.
Neither of these are a solution though. Anyone got any suggestions as
to how
to fix this?
