Re: [Ekiga-list] noise only

[Jiri Barton <jbar hosting4u cz>]

Hi,

it is the sound settings problem indeed. I have discovered the following:

There is this "Multi Track Internal Clock" item in alsamixer. It is 8000 by 
default, but

(1) I have to set it to 48000 in order for most applications to work. 
Otherwise, I'm getting badly sampled sound in them.

(2) I have to set it to 8000 for ekiga to work correctly.

I don't have a slightest idea what that settings means. I used to set it to 
48000 after the installation or the sound card reset and it was fine. My 
sound card is M-Audio 5.1 Revolution, and I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 with the 
development version of alsa 1.0.14rc4. Here is my .asoundrc:

Could you explain what "Multi Track Internal Clock" means and how I am 
supposed to set it so it works in ekiga and most other applications at the 
same time?

Thank you very much.
Jiri
