[Alsa-user] intel card sound deteriorates

[Jim E. <jed...@al...>]

Hi, 

I'm running a T23 thinkpad with an intel snd card and redhat 7.2.  I've 
updated to the 2.5.8 kernel to get alsa because I was having problems with 
the modules.  But the problem also occurs with the new kernel.  Everything 
seems to work fine at first but after about thirty minutes of playing mp3s 
the sound degenerates with a distorted echo.  Stopping and then restarting 
the application (xmms) does not solve the problem even temporarily. 

I read a suggestion on one porting site which said I should configure 
without the
sequencer so I have that off, but it doesn't help.  Any ideas would be 
greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
Jim
