I have the same issues in my system, two sound cards: SiS 7018 and Aureal Vortex 2 (8820).

Sound comming out from the media_server is heavily distorted, "stretched in time" so it seems and with frequent pauses/hiccups.

But... After quitting the media_server, running oss_test from the terminal goes all well. Sound is great for both devices.

I'm willing to test this further, just shout.

Yes, thanks, now sound is god!

But we can fix problem?

Once again (been telling that countless times) it's a known issue that BeOS/Haiku lacks resource reservation in the pci bus manager. This results in both OSS and the native driver to try and initialize the card at the same time and racing for it. Sometimes it even results in KDL. The only workaround currently is to remove one driver, either the native one or OSS (oss_loader binary) until there is a solution. Running osstest forces a reload of the driver, which re-initializes the card without the native driver noticing, so it works this time... Again you must remove one driver.

[bipolar]

Just for the record:

Replying to mmu_man:

Sorry I haven't made myself clear. The mentioned garbled sound issues have occurred to me, while testing OSS in both Haiku (no native drivers for my hardware) and, in the past, BeOS (native drivers removed, as I was aware they will interfere).

With no native drivers and no media_server running, oss_test works flawlessly. When attempting to play something through the oss media addon, that's when the sound output gets all cranky.

I understand it is a work in progress, just wanted to share my experiences with it. Thanks for your time and work, mmu_man. It is really appreciated!.

[apple7]

OH, new notice!

I have sound!!! this "beautiful" Today I installed haiku (revision 26031) and also driver oss, reboot and continue the problem:(, but after I remove /boot/home/config/add-ons/media/opensound.media_addon again reboot, I Run mediaplayer with *.mp3 and sound is amazing!

[mmu_man]

So, do you still get noise ? There are still issues with playback on OSS, but it should be bearable at least.

[bipolar]

Replying to mmu_man:

So, do you still get noise ?

I'll download a recent image today and will test it during the weekend. I will report my findings here after that. Again, thanks for work!

Err... Again, thanks for your work!

You might also want to try the latest version: ​http://revolf.free.fr/beos/oss-beos-v4.1test-bin.zip

[bipolar]

I've tried to test hrev27746 and the OSS package provided by stippi (hosted at yellowbite.com).

The outcome is: I had to disable the opensound.media_addon to make Haiku usable (100% CPU usage).

I'll be opening new tickets for the problems I've found after I double check them with mmu_man's OSS package.

If no one else is experiencing noise with OSS... I'd "vote" for closing it. I'll reopen it if necessary once/if I'm able to use OSS again on my system.

[bipolar]

Ok. I've tried with the latest OSS version from mmu_man. Results:

• I've lost support for the Aureal Vortex 2 (8820) card (was it black-listed?).
• SiS 7018 support seems to have improved.

"osstest" still plays with no problem on the SiS 7018.

I was able to reproduce an mp3 with no noise at all, but after trying with an .aac sound became noisy / stuter. The same mp3 became noisy too.

Restarting the media server fixed it, once. After it became noisy again... no restart did any good. Still, the situation seems to have improved.

[mmu_man]

Hmm some drivers have been deprecated in recent OSS (moved to Attic), possibly the aureal one. Should be easy to get it back. There is no blacklisting yet.

Did you play using the Haiku MP ? it seems to be unreliable to me currently. Try something else (CL-Amp ?)

I keep using that card, so I will be more than thankful if you add it back.

There is no blacklisting yet.

Ok, it seems Haiku's MediaPlayer's fault now, because CL-Amp sounds beautifully! I'd say this one could be closed, no?

Thanks!

[plfiorini]

Neither Haiku MP nor CL-Amp works here, well Haiku MP snaps while CL-Amp doesn't produce any output.

I can confirm that osstest works very well.

Does Haiku's built-in HDA work with this device? Since this was reported so long ago, I'm pretty certain the HDA driver has been update and included in the recent builds. If you try to use OpenSound alongside the HDA driver, you are likely to encounter problems, so you should at least remove the HDA driver manually if you intend to use OpenSound.

Haiku's built-in HDA driver doesn't work, MediaPlayer's progress bar doesn't even advance. Seems #4049 bug. When I reported this issue with OSS, I removed the hda driver (found two entries using find /boot -name "*hda*").

I'm experiencing this issue on Haiku hrev32893.

Anyway, wav files does play without a glitch using ossplay.

Would you mind testing on a recent nightly with the 4.2_git-2 package?

[korli]

No feedback. The hda driver is also available.
