Ardour plays nothing but noise
Hi, I am new to Ardour (2.0.5) I have two computers, both running Kubuntu 7.1, one of the Intel internals (that one works pretty cool) and the one that has the problems is an AMD (Sempron 3000+) with a (from lspci):
00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC’97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
I cant do nothing (good) with Ardour, I can record, but record just noise and knocking, kind of ear-killer stuff…
I cant even play an imported WAV, it import the file but play it like… noise + knocking + “horror movie” voice… (its really hard to describe a noise isnt it?)
Everything in my system is OK (I guess), my hardware is OK, heres a list of working recorders in this machine
Audacity (work perfect in a continuous recording, but not record->stop->record again)
GNUSound (good but not good enough for something more professional)
SoundRecorder (works perfect anytime, but to simple program)
So… I want to give a try to Ardour but… I am getting troubles…
The Ardour configuration is the default one, because everything worked OK in my Intel machine, I leave everything the same…
The only thing I can notice in difference (besides the hardware of course) was that Ardour seems to “record” too fast… I mean I turn-on record, then select record in a track then play (from head) to start recording (I do the same in the Intel), and the slide pointer (don’t know how to call that red line show you where the track is playing) goes too fast compared with the Intel machine.
And as I said before, cant even play an already tested WAV file, just play it with a lot of noise + knocking and like if the play was slower (kind of…)
Any help? anything would be really appreciated.
