Stuttering Playback

[Valtam]

Open a terminal and type in:

Code:

aplay -l

and

Code:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

and paste the results please.

It's all honestly it's all gone horribly wrong again, I've lost my sound when I have been trying to find solutions to find stuttering sound.

I have the issue of losing my sound card again, and I really don't know how to install it?  I downloaded the realtek driver for my system but cannot seem to follow the instructions.  I have tried compiling/configuring the driver but fail to do so.  I get the following outputs:

You mentioned you installed the realtek driver, who gave you that instruction? This is where it has all gone wrong I suspect.

[crunch182]

Actually no.  I didn't install anything while trying to find a match for the al269 settings of the driver I was changing the configurations on the last line of the alsa.conf file as I had found many people tried different types that were similar to their make or model.

In regards to the previous posts which I attempted merely straight after it had been posted.  Since it's nearly been a week since my last point I though I try working out how to stop audio stuttering.

Of course, upon occasion you get it wrong, which I did - therefore I need to install my sound card again.  As I know and found out last time; my computer uses Realtek HD Audio which is the alsa alc269 driver, I tried following instructions and compiling the driver myself.

I also of course was following the sound troubleshooting on the forums through the manual and had proceeded to remember what was done last time.

I run the commands Valtam said to do and following are the results

Code:

click@lite:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

click@lite:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC269
Codec: Silicon Image SiI1392 HDMI

Okay for now I believe it's fixed.  I changed the alsa file

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

on the last line I just changed model=dell

Though, I think I tried that before, so I don't know.  I'm gonna count my blessings.

Cheers guys after a very long sound is normal and working thanks for all the help and I know I was incredibly annoying when troubleshooting.

Ok this morning I had good results and achieved normal playback however, since then, I have shut down and now rebooted I have found that I have stuttering playback again, any suggestions?

Hi.  I'm a newbee too and have exactly the same problem with a dell mini 10.  Have followed all advice and still stutters with the alc269.

Would really like to get this thing sorted so wife can ditch XP.

Have gone onto mplayer2 and it works for me so have removed VLC.  Thought some-one would be interested later.
