Having one of these chipsets i sympathise with you, however i dont have your
problem.

So it seems the problem arises when kde is starting, this would point to the
file (default sound file) KDE_Startup.wav found in /opt/kde/share/sounds/

The funtion audio_fd is another word for /dev/dsp (at least it is normally),
I would simply move or rename KDE_Startup.wav and see what happens.

The buzzing sound would possably interpret a missed interrupt or some
interrupt sharing problem, if you use google.com/linux you may well see that
others have reported simalar problems at some time or other.

Of course it could well be that the .wav may be corrupted in some way and
kicks the problem off.

You could once again use strace to catch the problem, however be prepared if
you do for one hell of a big strace file.

Continous buzzing sound in kde

Hi, In slackware 9.1 where I had to change from alsa to OSS sound system due to distorted sounds with alsa I still can not open kde desktop. Trying to do so I get a continuous, annoying buzz, necessitating a quick ctrl-alt-backspace retreat. This shows on the console: AudioIO::close(): entering AudioIOOSSThreaded::stopThread() entering waiting for writerThread to finish AudioIOOSSTHreaded::writerThread() fatal error writing to a audio_fd AudioIOOSSThreaded::writerThread() thread stopped AudioIOOSSTHreaded::readerThread() fatal error reading from audio_fd AudioIOOSSThreaded::readerThread() thread stopped waiting for readerThread to finish AudioIOOSSThreaded::stopThread(): leaving AudioIO::close(): leaving Any suggestions to stop this buzzing sound? There is no sound problem anymore with gnome or fvwm2. lsmod gives: Module Size Used by Not tainted bsd_comp 4312 0 (autoclean) ppp_async 7552 0 (autoclean) ppp_generic 15452 0 (autoclean) [bsd_comp ppp_async] slhc 5040 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] pcmcia_core 40032 0 ide-scsi 9424 0 via82cxxx_audio 19704 0 ac97_codec 12296 0 [via82cxxx_audio] soundcore 3332 2 [via82cxxx_audio] agpgart 39576 0 (unused) Chipset: P4M266/A Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge AC'97 Audio Codec: Compliant with AC'97 2.1 specs. 16-bit stereo full-duplex CODEC with fixed 48KHz sampling rate.

Re: Continous buzzing sound in kde

Thanks Richard! I solved the problem!!! In the control center sound system in Sound I/O disable "Enable full duplex operation".
