This dosn't sound good...

(1/3) > >>

Doctor V:
I installed a couple of applications on my Linux box (redhat 8.0 with all the goodies), and well, they don't sound very good.  I dled and unzipped a couple of games and the sound is very choopy, and seems to be out of synch with what is going on on the screen.  However, if I run the game as root, it runs perfectly.  Any ideas of what might be causing this, and how it might be fixed?  I'd rather not run it as root every time.

  :confused:  V  :confused:

slave:
Please, what sound card do you use?  What driver?

Faust:
i had the same problem with mandrake (sorta)...
have you tried rmmoding the current driver and then insmoding a new one?
i had to rmmod some stupid wrong one and then shove in the proper i810_audio driver...  :rolleyes:
also i know my soundblaster live (emu10k1 driver) conflicts with my onboard audio (i810_audio) so could that be your problem?
are all the sound devices chmoded properly?  I know debian makes the /dev/dsp* devices root owned with 600 file permissions for example (because sound is a "non essential security risk" or something I guess     )

Faust:
Enlightened Sound Daemon?  There are multiples choices of daemons yeah so whats the guarantee that that one is running?  Also he knows that sound is actually running as he can hear it.
Also the sound issues are "fixed at root" and I doubt esd is starting when he does /bin/su unless something really weird is going on...
