Sound Card Trouble

[JoeyJoeJo]

Almost everytime I boot, my sound card gives me an error that says "Requested 44100 frequency, got xxx frequency. Using Null output device" This time it got like 10990 and all of my music files played really fast, like a 33 on the 45 setting, or Alvin, Simon, and Theo on speed. I have a Sigmatel C-Media card using the i810_audio driver.

what sound driver are you trying to use, alsa, oss, esd ect ect ??

[JoeyJoeJo]

I'm not sure. I'm just using the drivers that were installed when I installed my distro, RH9. Is there a way I can tell?

Post the soundcard related modules from the results of

lsmod (list loaded modules)

The oss modules start with 'snd-' I believe.

snd-i810_audio for oss

i810_audio for kernel stock module

[JoeyJoeJo]

i810_audio 27624 0 (autoclean)
ac97_codec 14600 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
soundcore 6404 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio]

Those are the all of the sound related modules I can find, so I guess I'm using the kernel stock module.

BTW, its an honor, sir.

:D I'm just a JL member the same as everyone else.

Those are the correct modules. Likely it is a system setting that needs adjusting. It could even be power management in the bios.

I have seen previous threads here on the same problem though I cannot remember offhand what the solution is.

See if these help for 'music play fast' (http://justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=674145&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) and if not, try other search criteria such as 'audio play fast' or 'sound play fast' etc.

Try those first before adjusting anything in the bios.
