I've dug out a very old system from the loft to use in another room (althon 3000xp & nvidia fx 5500 on a km 400 pro MB )
Its running ubuntu 10.10 with the last supported drivers from nvidia (173.14.31).& a nightly build compiled today (01/11/11).
Playing a video with dolby 5.1 or ac3 or aac is a rock solid 25fps as it should be. Playing a video with mpeg2 audio is anywhere between 30 & 45fps!
Have tried all vertical blank options in xbmc & the graphics driver panel aswell. compiled xbmc without vdpau because the fx 5500 doesn't support it.
Music mp3's etc.. play fine (no speed up)
Audio options in xbmc are set to: analog,2.0,boost downmix & device is Defaults(alsa).
Output in ubuntu is set to: analog stereo output
audio HW:AC 97 Audio
any help would be great....
