hi,
i've now reinstalled mandrake 9.0 and successfully got audio running,
but the sound quality is heavily distorted. it can't be a usb mouse
conflict, as patrick suggested, as i am not running any other usb
devices concurrently with my quattro - i only have one usb port on my
thinkpad 600E.
does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? it seems very
strange as everything worked fine with tarball alsa 0.9.rc5 and mandrake
8.2 - i'm now using the supplied rpm versions of alsa with mandrake 9.0
- i prefer to use the alsa-project.org tarballs, but in this case i have
decided to stick with the supplied rpms to avoid conflicts as happened
earlier. i'm also currently installing kevin ernste's turnkey linux
audio system.
thanks in advance
m~

It could be conflicting with your vga drivers setings. I have an nvidia
and had to drop the agp speed from 4 to 2. Otherwise I always had poor
sound quality in JACK.

hi patrick
thanks... that could be possible (although it seems strange that it
should happen now, with mandrake 9.0, when it didnt happen in 8.2...
still, its gotta be conflicting with *something* to produce this
result...
how do i go about dropping my agp speed? i cant seem to see anything in
my XF86Config that would do this... i'm running my quattro from an ibm
thinkpad 600E laptop, it has a NeoMagic 1024x786 flatpanel screen - i'm
using the drivers that X selected by default...
thanks

I think such a thing is done in the BIOS.

haven't had the need to find out yet :)
First check with lspci what the vga device is. For example.
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 (GeForce2
Pro) (rev a3)
If you have an nvidia (I'm not sure if mandrake bundle the drivers or
not) then providing you are using the nvidia modules.
lsmod
look for this line:
NVdriver 989952 10 (autoclean)
If not you should get the nvidia drivers from their site. Very easy to
install.
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.tar.gz NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.tar.gz
Then add this line to your /etc/modules.conf file:
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
options NVdriver NVreg_ReqAGPRate=0x2
There is a full list of options for nvidia drivers in one of the tarballs.

is moot for m, as she has a ThinkPad 600E that runs at AGP 1X already.
And m, that's a NeoMagic 2200 chipset in your 600E (OK, NeoMagic calls
it a MagicMedia 256AV, but X calls it a neo2200).
I have no problems running a cheap Griffin iMic USB audio device on my
600E, and USB is sharing its interrupt with eth0. I'm running a
2.4.21-pre3-ac2 kernel on Debian stable, no low-latency patches.
