Ah ! I'm so happy to learn I'm not alone on this planet to still have problems with VT8233 AC97 Audio / ESD and Redhat 9.0. Nothing to add to the detailed bug report really, exact same config, exact same problem. Note that when the logout freezes (evrytime esd is running basically), you can jump to a console ctrl+alt+F1, log as yourself, killall esd, back to X ctrl+alt+F7, and logout properly. Note 2: In gnome 1.4 I used to be able to deactivate esd completely, this is not possible anymore ! Even though I unchecked the "start sound server" option, esd will start every now and then. I have encountered the same problem. I managed to find a temporary work around by setting the output buffer size in esd to 4096 instead of 512. XMMS works fine now, although it takes a while to stop. This is not an ideal solution, but unfortunately I have not had a chance to pursue it further. Same problem for me: RH9 - Shrike xmms-1.2.7-21.p esound-0.2.28-4 kernel-2.4.20-8-athlon Login into X as non-root. Start xmms from the start menu. display its playlist window. Press the "Add dir" button select a dir with some music files. The first and selected music file is a WAV ( 44kHz stereo 16 bit ). I click on play and nothing happens. xmms does not respond to input any more. As root I kill the esd process and xmms comes back to life. ( "kill PID" didn't work , I had to use "kill -9 PID" ) Then configured xmms to use OSS instead if esd and everything worked fine.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.... all of the above. Plays first note then hangs the system... brutally!!! Have to resort to extreme measure to get things back to normal. Also Athlon 1.8GHz processor, DFI 75 mainboard with integrated via82cxxx_audio I have the same problem with RH 9 on my AOpen AK77-8X mobo. How do you set the output buffer size in esd? The documentation for esd is not very helpful. If this only happens with the one sound driver, conceivably it's a kernel issue. I don't know though. Fixed in the current errata kernel. ESD asked for zillions of fragments, we said OK but the hardware has a lower limit. Thanks, moving and closing. |
