-=Greetings fair citizens! I am having trouble with Linux Mandrake (Or Mandrake Linux watever) and my sound.
The problem is, when i listen to music, or hear any sound in that matter-- It sounds all skippy like when a cd skips, but not quite as bad, you always hear some music, but it sounds like if there is a bad connection (or loose) between the speakers or Computer.
My box has this for a soundcard.
Vendor: Intel Corporation
Model: 82801AA AC'97 Audio
Kernel Module: snd-card-intel8x0
Bus Type: PCI
It is one of thoes HP packagae deals, a HP 7940 to be more specific.
Now, i dont have this problem ALL the time. Someimtes (just somtimes) when i start XMMS it sounds all bad (as i described above) but then when i restart XMMS, it is fine. But usually it doesnt get better.
The very first time i installed Mandrake, with juse KDE and the Configuration tools, it was fine. I isntalled 3 more times with every package i wanted and it has gone bad. I had the Gonme (sp?) dektop enviroment insalled, games, a lot of the internet and network stuff, and the office tools like word processors. I found that The sound was ALWAYS bad when i had all these installed (not running ofcourse). On the 5th install of Mandrake, i installed just KDE, the internet tools, the word processors, the configuration tools, and i think thats it. This time, when first booting into Linux (the sound it makes right before it shows the dektop) the sound was fine. I then went into the desktop configuration wizzard and choose the KDE classic dektop, i dont know what this did but it screwed it up. The sound was messed up again...
This problem is really pissing me off, and im really disapointed :( If anyone can help me with this problem, it would be greatly appriciated. I hope i gave enough infotmation, if not please let me know what else would help and ill provide. ty.=-
