sorry the kernel version is 2.4.3-ac12, so it's kind of latest...

I was using mpg123 (xmms and c/o does exactly the same) if I run it like this Moby sounds very stupid... :) [root@whyami mp3]# mpg123 -r 48000 Moby_01.wav.mp3 unsupported playback rate: 44100
Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 16bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 8bit stereo.
unsupported sound format: 32
Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 48Khz, 16bit stereo.

The i810 audio driver is broken on my Fujitsu Lifebook S-4546. All output is just noise. Here is a snip's from the kernel log.

Quoted 8 lines

Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.02, 19:41:16 Apr 23 2001
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:00.1
PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:00.2
PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:13.1
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:00.1 to 64
i810: Intel 440MX found at IO 0x1cc0 and 0x1000, IRQ 9
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x594d:0x4800 (Unknown)
i810_audio: only 48Khz playback available

Quoted 10 lines

The dump looks fine. Its a cheap and cheeerful codec however by the look of it.
Make sure the applications you use properly handle 48Khz only audio. That
may be the problem or maybe not.

Also try the very latest kernels as a fair bit of work has been done on them

"very stupid" means "broken" obviously, but can you be more specific? music is faster? slower? garbled?

so, since you provided no more output than this, I assume that 48Khz/16bit succeeded, which appears perfectly normal for a locked-rate codec.

You may need the 'clocking' module option, not sure...

i got the same problem when using mpg123 compiled with esd on my dell workstation (which has a need to have set explictely to a clocking of 41194 via ftsodell option), compiling without esd seems fix the prob for me.

The latest i810 driver does away with the ftsodell option entirely and should work on your laptop without having to do anything special.
