Hi, Im relativly new to linux (at least to the parts about messing with
kernels and modules etc). I appreciated the instructions for getting a
low latency kernel with alsa under Redhat, they were easy to follow, and
almost everything worked smoothly.
I had some troubles though: After using the low lat kernel, it seems I
couldn't get online anymore. I could browse samba shares on the LAN,
but couldn't find any servers with ping or anyhting ("unknown host
name"). Even when I rebooted with my original kernel I had the
problem. I had to reinstall everything...
Second problem (not so important - I imagine its because of my suxy
hardware) is that the sound using programs (audacity in particular) will
occasionally while playing back sound make a loud "scribbly" noise and
hang for a while. Why is this? Also when recording in audacity, with
simultaneous playback of previously recorded tracks, everything thats
recorded has a really looooow tone (timing ok thoug).
Like I said, Im not a guru at any of this - I'm just curious what the
reasons for my problems are. If I can be steered in the right
direction, I'm ready to learn.
My setup: fujitsu-siemens lifebook s-4510, cpu: pentium II 450 MHz, 128
sdram, soundcard: intel 810 ac97 (I know - its embarrasing), RedHat 9
THanks!!!
