Hello,
I've been having difficulty getting smooth USB audio output on my Dell
Inspiron 4100 with a Griffin iMic. It works great when the machine is
unloaded (on 2.4.18 I got constant breakups; I think the improvement
is related to the recent USB fixes), but any video or disk activity
causes breakups.
I have a feeling that I need to get the USB controller onto its own
IRQ, and a further, horrible, feeling that the chipset in this machine
is "integrated" to such an extent that this is not possible. My
fiddlings with setpci had no discernible effect, although I could
simply have been doing it wrong.
I'm running Linux 2.4.19-pre7 (with international Crypto and rmap13).
The BIOS version is A03, which does not appear to have any kind of
options for fiddling with IRQs at all. I plan to try with A07
tomorrow.
Further information follows.
