My experience is that the xine engine is _by far_ the best sounding |
| 11 |
engine available in amarok. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
It might be interesting to diff |
| 14 |
~/.kde3.5/share/apps/amarok/xine-config with ~/.xine/config, |
| 15 |
particularly for the alsa devices in use. Actually, I think you can |
| 16 |
just copy the ~/.xine/config to the amarok directory to make sure you |
| 17 |
are using the same xine configuration for both. |

The exact model of the controller chip might be useful here. From the |
| 24 |
.confs in /usr/share/alsa/cards, I gather that the 8233 and 8237 do |
| 25 |
hardware mixing, while the 8233A does not, and enables dmix/dsnoop by |
| 26 |
default. |

If you have the 8233 or 8237, I might try forcing the use of dmix by |
| 29 |
default in your ~/.asoundrc to see if it makes a difference: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
pcm.!default { |
| 32 |
type plug |
| 33 |
slave.pcm "dmixer" |
| 34 |
} |
| 35 |
pcm.dmixer { |
| 36 |
type dmix |
| 37 |
ipc_key 1024 |
| 38 |
slave { |
| 39 |
pcm "hw:0,0" |
| 40 |
period_time 0 |
| 41 |
period_size 1024 |
| 42 |
buffer_size 4096 |
| 43 |
rate 44100 |
| 44 |
} |
| 45 |
bindings { |
| 46 |
0 0 |
| 47 |
1 1 |
| 48 |
} |
| 49 |
} |
| 50 |
ctl.dmixer { |
| 51 |
type hw |
| 52 |
card 0 |
| 53 |
} |
