Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: don't know even if it exists Distribution: UHU-Linux Hardware Environment: Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ CPU (but 32 bit OS), VIA 82xx Audio Software Environment: mplayer, bmpx, I can reproduce with anything Problem Description: once in 2-3 minute the sound stops for 0.1-0.3 seconds. Steps to reproduce: just invoke mplayer *.mp3 # lsmod |grep snd snd_pcm_oss 37280 0 snd_mixer_oss 18048 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_via82xx 25240 0 gameport 14600 1 snd_via82xx snd_via82xx_modem 14600 0 snd_ac97_codec 83744 2 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem snd_ac97_bus 6016 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_mpu401_uart 9600 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 21664 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 9996 1 snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 71300 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21636 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11144 3 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_pcm snd 44260 10 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10848 1 snd No log entries, how can I enable sound driver debug mode, or what should I do to get more details?
By the way I cannot get the point in changing component to ALSA, however I still want to help you to solve this issue, just tell me how and what information should I retrieve.
Created attachment 11652 [details] aadebug output I used this script to generate this output: http://alsa.opensrc.org/Aadebug I hope it will help
Imre, do you still experience this problem with recent kernels?
Nowadays I use gentoo 2008.0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r7, in this configuration, I do not experience this problem. Thank you for your help.
