openSUSE 10.3 audio playback problem

A clean install of openSUSE 10.3 on my Shuttle XPC fn25p, everything
works great except the audio. The sound plays back VERY slow....
playback is about 1/4 the correct speed. The KDE startup audio clip
sounds like a mournful funeral drumbeat. Streaming audio off the
Internet also plays at this ridiculously slow speed.

The sound card in the Shuttle uses the ice1724 driver. Thinking it
might be a driver problem, I complied and installed a new driver from
the ALSA-PROJECT site. No difference. I am guessing it must be
something that is miss-configured. Any suggestions?

This same machine had no problem with audio under openSUSE 10.2 or
Ubuntu 7.04

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem:
on openSUSE 10.2 I had no problems,
but after upgrading to openSUSE 10.3 the sound is very slow.

probably any driver problem.

cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_ice1712
1 snd_intel8x0

I don't use my onboardsoundcard, only with index 0:
driver: ice1712

regards
alex

bugreport to:
[url]https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/[/url]

there you can read a workaround which works:

I've been googling for a while and i've found a trick that resolves the
reported problem for ice1712 card:

set via alsamixer 'Multi Track Rate Locking' (and possibly as well, 'Multi
Track Rate Reset') to off (by typing 'm'). It seems to work :-)
