there was a suggestion to update alsa

ubuntu 9.04 comes with Version 1.0.18rc3

i will upgrade to 1.0.20 now, will let you know if it worked!

EDIT:

what i tried so far:

** xbmc 22528 is installed **

- upgraded alsa to 1.0.20
- put in that .asoundrc in my home folder

upgraded alsa described as in here: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/0...aunty-904/

sound cuts in DTS now seem more seldom and less noticeable, will test with another test movie

which Version of XBMC running on your box?

xbmc svn 22528

this is what i did new:

- upgraded to nvidia 190 drivers (ppa) .. testing now

frozenice · 2009-10-25, 18:57

I'm running since this morning the newest Version (Built on Oct 25 2009 (SVN:23984))

nvidia is up2date at the 190 driver, too

Today i can't reproduce this Bug, my Alsa is still at 1.0.18rc3. Later i try to watch a movie and report to you.

Ben8472 · 2009-10-25, 19:55

i just updated to nvidia 190 2 hours ago, watched 1 tv episode and a movie (dd and movie dts)

a++, no sound cuts or anything!!!

Smile

frozenice · 2009-10-25, 20:19

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

poserdonut · 2009-10-25, 21:29

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.

frozenice · 2009-10-25, 23:11

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

poserdonut · 2009-10-26, 08:00

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

Ben8472 · (This post was last modified: 2009-10-26, 22:26 by Ben8472.)

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 · (This post was last modified: 2009-10-27, 01:34 by Ben8472.)

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.
