sound work, but........

[lin]

Redhat9 kernel 2.4.20-31.9. OSS supported by module.

install NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run. every thing go well.
sound work(with xmms or mplayer, either oss or esound output). but dmesg keep saying:

And sometime the sound stop a little while(0.5second ?), then continue. is it synchorizing its 48000hz with actual sample rate.

I could return back with i810_audio, but sound effect much poorer.

Any help is appreciated.

[lin]

downgrade to nvaudio, no such problem.
but i notice nvsound call up soundcore.o
but nvaudio call up soundcore.o & ac97_codec.o.
and i810_audio with ac97_codec.o.

A new version of the NFORCE drivers were released today (yesterday?), They work a LOT better than the 0283 release, still some problems, and still OSS

But, I now have hw mixing, so I'm happy!

[lin]

I have tried new 0292 driver. but sad.

[wopr]

Everything I've tried now works , before it was getting the dreadful delay. However it would seem Mplayer doesn't work , even with the channel 6 switch. Reverted back to the 1.0-0283 drivers and Mplayer works again. Anyone else have the same problem?

As you are with Redhat9 kernel 2.4.20-31.9, did you check the interrupts are in apic mode ( cat /proc/interrupts) . If so try to boot with "noapic acpi-off" option and see whether it helps?

[lin]

The acpi has been disabled.
just upgrade to 2.4.27. sound problem same.
install 6111 nvidia driver, and X coundn't startup with GLX. it work well on 2.4.20-31.9.
