Hi,
I get the same effect also, using a Turtle Beach Fiji card with Andrew Veliath's OSS-like driver on one machine, and a crappy Vibra16 with OSS on another...weird.

The -frags flag triggers a complete different (not so responsive) kind of audio output. BTW the same method jMax uses OSS.
I'm not sure why it helps in your case. For the records, can you tell us which soundcard you use ?

I tried something:
putting the -frags or -fragsize flag. My clicks go away !My problem is solved, but would anyone on the list please tell me why it is solved and how these two flags work ?
Thanks alot!

Hello,
I'm experiencing glitches when using PD under linux. I use Guenter's0.30 version (I compiled it) with a Mandrake distribution and OSS-free. What is strange, is that when I move the mouse, the glitches go away.
So I have to move the mouse to keep the sound clean...Thanks

Hm, really, this "mouse moving" feature smells, as Michal pointed out, like it being a hardware problem. OTOH for modems and mice this is common, as "serial mice" and modems both use the serial port, and these interrupts are shared for ports > 2.
Could be an "ISA card feature", which leads to the question of ISA PNP configuration.

BTW, glad to hear the fijii/pinnacle does work in some way.

Well, yes the Pinnacle works just fine using the -frags flag, though it 'blue-screens' doing duplex under NT (this is a Pinnacle driver problem which is not restricted to PD; it has proven to be a nightmare for us actually).
Re: the mouse problem: I'm using a PS/2 mouse on both machines. Don't know if that elucidates anything. As you say, could be to do with using the ISA bus, I hadn't thought of that.

My ps2 mouse uses IRQ12, which is definitely in the range of the interrupt a soundcard would use. With "isapnp" and "pnpdump" you should be able to change the cards interrupt. ISA and PNP have ever been a problem for linux, as it is not supported by the kernel directly. I still doubt that these cards would work without the -frags, as the driver probably isn't good enough.
