Hello, there.
I just ran into a problem that I was hoping someone could shed some
light on for me. When I play an audio clip through my sound card, the
tail of the previous clip is heard after the new clip and the whole
thing loops after about 15 seconds and continues until I interrupt the
process. Here is an example:
I play "robinwilliams"
I hear "robinwilliams robinwilliams robinwilliams..."
I play "lion"
I head "lionnwilliams lionnwilliams lionnwilliams..."
Hardware and software specifics:
I am running 2.1-RELEASE on a P75 with a ProAudioSpectrum-16. This
combo worked fine under 2.0-(somesnapshot). To enable the sound
card I added these lines to my kernel config:
controller snd0
device pas0 at isa? port 0x388 irq 10 drq 6 vector pasintr
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
device opl0 at isa? port 0x388 conflicts
And I did a 'MAKEDEV pas' in /dev. (actually, I did this first)
To play a clip, I run the following command:
sox lion.au -t ub -r 8000 /dev/dsp
Any ideas about what is going wrong? I have not recompiled sox
since I installed the new version of the OS. Should I? Is there
something I need to do to get the PAS16 into (or out of) SB mode?
Has anyone seen (heard) this before?
Thanks for any help,
-David Paigen
