What could cause adio to play like this?

My Mini2440 plays audio "intermittently". Its almost like its repeating
samples.

(Recordings of original and broken audio attached)

I play the audio using aplay

Ex: aplay /home/Sounds/Siren.wav

I have had this problem before but fixed it. Now it has returned and I
honestly can't remember what I did to fix it.

Listen to the attached recording from the Mini2440 audio output.

What could cause this and how can I rectify it?

Could not attach recordings

Recent kernels seems to have trouble to control the DMA in a correct
manner. Maybe you hit this problem. AFAIR Linux 3.2 was the last one which
works correctly.

Thank you very much.

Seems like you are right. Managed to get it working on my 2.6.38 kernel.

I've been using kernel 3.7 lately. Any way of getting it to work on kernel
3.7?

Thank you

Sorry, still no idea. They changed something in the DMA code and all
kernels are broken since 3.3. I never get an answer from the developer.
