Hi all,
I'm having an interesting problem. I recently purchased a Syba USB sound card (SD-CM-UAUD) for use with my E02 Pogoplug as a Shairport streamer. When directly playing a wav file with aplay, the sound is perfectly fine, but over shairport the sound is horribly distorted/crackly. I've tried all the various asound.conf changes related to usb audio to no effect. Interestingly, I can make the problem nearly go away by loading the plug with a dummy app that pegs the CPU at 90-100% but as soon as I kill that program, the distortion comes back. Does anyone have any idea why this would be the case?
Thanks,
JM
