Always a delay in alsa

sc30317 · 2008-08-05 20:38:06

Why is there always a delay in alsa?

When I run aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center, I hear the lady say "nt, Center!"
When I run aplay =R 100 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center, I hear the lady say "Front, Center!"

Is there a way I can fix this?

I've got (IIRC) the same. Didn't care. If you want realtime sound, use jack.

sc30317 · 2008-08-05 21:24:49

Does anyone know how I would do this? Or a fix for alsa?

The bug is really annoying, expecially when single sounds event are played (for example when receiving / sending messages in Pidgin).

why don't you upgrade to the newest alsa ? it works perfectly, I had same problem
alsa-lib 1.0.17-1
alsa-utils 1.0.17-1

use abs, change ver to 17 and that is all

Thank you zyghom. I just didin't think it was a problem of alsa, because with other distros the 1.0.16 worked fine and had not this problem.

Anyway... [SOLVED]!

Excellent news zyghom, thanks!

How can I use abs to change version to 17?

I'd just like to point out that you made the title rhyme

Congratulations!

pkgname=alsa-lib
pkgver=1.0.17

pkgname=alsa-utils
pkgver=1.0.17

When I try to compile it from the abs, it notes the 1.0.16 package and won't let me install. I cant remove alsa, because so many programs depend on it. Any answers to that quandry?

try pacman -U alsa-pkg-0.1.17.pkg.tar.gz

For future reference, pacman has an option to skip dependencies, which is especially handy for situations like this, when you're going to install a newer version

pacman -Rd pkgname

As a matter of fact I just noticed that alsa-1.0.17 hit the repo's so I'd grab it from there
