oh thanks, that's good to know. > All controls may be turned to zero save for "Wave LFE", "Wave > Center", or "Wave Surround"; it will work fine, and the other > controls, like "Master" and "PCM", have no effect. this means that ac97 is not routed as audigy1. perhaps a different bus is assigned. > The next jack is always silent; the "Wave" control (my guess as to > what should be controlling it) does nothing. what kind of output is expected on this jack? > However, the livedrive > headphone output _does_ work, and _is_ volume-controlled properly by > "Wave".

Oh well. thanks for your tests! perhaps i'll get audigy2 for tests, too, and will take a deeper look. ciao, Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
