Re: [Alsa-user] Re: snd-hda-intel problems (audio: distorted,scratchy)

[Santiago A. <alm...@gm...>]

I have tried position_fix=3D1 and position_fix=3D2, I have also tried:
position_fix=3D0 and without this option.

I have edited asound.conf to resample the output to 48khz and no good eithe=
r.

The problem appears in every program I use: xmms, xine, mplayer
(watching DVD's, playing MP3, even in GNOME sounds)

What can it be??


Thanks for the help,
Santiago
