nice! Which Version of the nvidia installed? Take a look in /proc/driver/nvidia/version

My Version shows:

Quote:NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 190.42 Tue Oct 20 20:18:32 PDT 2009
GCC version: gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4)

I try 1 tv episode after lunch Big Grin and report

Please keep us updated if this works because then I would have something motivating me to uninstall my drivers and do the PPA thing instead.

so... i tested one TV Episode (45min Runtime) with AC3 Sound => No Problem

And watching some DVB Stuff (Stereo) (~1hour) => No Problem

Today my Asrock run's without any Audio Bug/Lag/Cut Laugh

I hope the Nvidia Update was the solution for this Problem.

watched another movie that gave me sound cuts previously

nvidia 190 from ppa and now i have peace!

if you are unsure, these lines of code should do the trick!

paste them in to your terminal line after line, first part is if you don't have ppa set up

if you allready have the nvidia ppa in your sources.list SKIP this part!

part 1: get the nvidia ppa sources
Code:
sudo su
echo '#' NVIDIA Repositories >> etc/apt/sources.list
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main >> etc/apt/sources.list
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 318C7509 64234534 CEC06767 0x6D975C4791E7EE5E

now do a

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Part 2: getting nvidia 190 from ppa installed & reboot

Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-190 -y
sudo reboot

Cool! Will do this when I get home from work today.


- Ben8472 - 2009-10-26 11:27

please let us know if it worked for you

edit: just watching another movie, the bug is back! (streamed over samba) sound cuts Sad

i wonder why ...


- poserdonut - 2009-10-26 23:30

I forgot to do this today, and since you still get the bug I guess it's not the solution. Sad


- Ben8472 - 2009-10-27 00:18

i don't know why, yesterday it worked, today it stopped working Sad

i am sure that i didn't miss the sound cuts yesterday, i tested 2 movies today, both with annoying sound cuts, dts worse than dd in my opinion.


i'm kind of really frustrated here, i will see to try another AMP, on my old one i never noticed these drops, maybe it has a better error correction on dropped frames?

i will also see and try to get another computer to try it on.


btw, here is the error log

@frozenice: no problems for you anymore?

one thing we seem to have in common is the zotac ion board


- frozenice - 2009-10-27 09:28

yesterday i can't test any movie. My last test was on sunday and there where no cuts at my Asrock 330.

I try to test some more stuff today.
