Stuttering Playback

[robert]

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

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.

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?

[crunch182]

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

Code: [Select]

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.

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

Code: [Select]

[email protected]:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]

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.

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

[crunch182]

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:

Open a terminal and type in:

Code: [Select]

aplay -l
and

Code: [Select]

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
and paste the results please.

[crunch182]

Anyone got any suggestions for my stuttering audio, I guess trying other audio configurations?

[crunch182]

I tried this, and unfortunately it didn't work - still stuttering?

Re-open your configuration file as you have previously,

Code: [Select]

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

And remove the line you previously added. (or you can place a # in front of it to disable, but its much easier to simply delete the line you can reference this thread later if need be.)

Code: [Select]

options snd-hda-intel model=dell

After you remove the line above enter these lines as is and save the file, exit and reboot. Hopefully it should be solved.

Code: [Select]

# Stuff you Added.
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=basic


The developers for the Linux kernel love to change things and not document it very well. As I believe I explained before this is quite troublesome as this singular driver provides functionality to hundreds of chip sets. It continuously changing and annoying for certain pieces of hardware. If this again does not solve the issue, we resolve to find a fix for you if possible.

If you are wondering what it will look like as a whole file you can vist here.

[crunch182]

I am using a dell mini 1010, I believe that the audio driver is supposed to be a dell-multi-driver - I think.

[shaggytwodope]

What is the model of your computer?

[crunch182]

Hey,

I tried editing the file, making sure to save it, and rebooting but to no avail?
