I upgraded to KDE 3.2 (also had an upgrade to alsa-driver .9.8) and afterward had bad sound. (I have a Creative PCI 128 card, or something like that, that linux identifies as an Ensoniq 5880, for which alsa uses the ens1371 card drivers, whatever)
If I turned up the volume (on the speaker) I got a lot of hiss and static on the left channel. Even when I turned the volume in kmix all the way down (should be just silence) I would get hiss, static and whatever was playing (like a song on xmms) After trying a lot of complex things, the solution was pretty simple, click the little Advanced box in kmix, and uncheck the button for IEC958. So if you are getting bad sound, without crashes, try it, it can't hurt. Sound is great, life is good, KDE rocks. -- -- Jim -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
