The alsa-devel mailinglist is moderated for non-subscribers; if you did email alsa-devel before and just weren't let through the moderation queue then please say so because in that case we definitely have a problem to fix.

Re: [Alsa-user] Which 96kHz card ?
I started to experimenting with Software Defined Radio so I need some higher quality sound card. I could buy Creative SB Audigy SE which has 24bit stereo sampling @96kHz but it is not yet supported. Can somebody here recommend me some other 24b/96kHz card which is supported by ALSA and has at least good SNR ? My M-Audio Delta 44 is supported(ice1712) and fairly nice. 4 ins and 4 outs. Unfortunately all TRS connections. I've spent as much on cables, adapters, microphone/headphone preamps, and other things, as I did for the card. Certainly higher end than most of your typical SB cards. But relative to more studio grade cards, a little lacking. The sound to noise ratio is good. My laptop hooked up to my stereo system has noticeable static, very noticeable. The Delta to the stereo only has a little noise, if you crank it and put your ear in contact with the speaker grill. I'm drooling a little over an Echo Layla 3G, but I have no idea of it's alsa/linux support level. In the meantime my mobility and battery life needs has me using a Korg MR-1000. A stand alone stereo recorder that doubles as a usb-storage device. Super Duper nice, and the converters on it(DSD), shows that the Delta isn't top of the line, but still very good. Unfortunately there's no known way to deal with DSD files in Linux. At least not known to me. Not that I've tried running audiogate in wine yet.

My BIOS is v. similar to your own, I have the following two under chipset/southbridge: AZALIA Audio: [Internal, External, Internal+External, Disabled] (Internal codec is included in chipset is is for HDMI Audio function External codec is an onboard codec ex. ALC883 . . . ) Front Panel Select: [HD Audio, AC97] I have it set to Internal and HD Audio currently. I will try a distro kernel in a few minutes. I may be wrong here, but I believe HDMI uses snd-hda-intel too, which may explain why snd-hda-intel is loaded, but no soundcards detected, etc. I would try the external setting in your BIOS, as ALC883 is the codec you need. I have recently seen another thread where the soundcard was an hda-intel one, and an HDMI hda-intel component was also involved, and in that case 2 instances of snd-hda-intel were apparently being loaded somehow, and /proc/asound/cards was showing them as card0, and card1. I found the pci ids for the vendor ok, but could find an exact match for the product ids. My suggestion above may be worth a try, and post the output of the following after trying it please. cat /proc/asound/cards ldmod | grep snd All the best.

[Alsa-user] clanging sound when recording from line-in
Hi, I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to ask but I don't know a better one: When recording from line input with audacity I get a totally clanging result. Even at quiet places in the music I hear a low noise, when magnifying I see a sawtooth-form wave of about 4000 Hz. During the recording, when i directly hear the music, it seems to be ok. When I do the recording at the same conditions using arecord from the command line the result is ok too. This way is not very convenient because one can judge the right pitch only afterwards. I use Debian. With version 3 recording with Audacity was ok, using the same hardware at Debian 4.0r3 and 4.0r4 gives this evil result. It's the same when I use ReZound and another program I tried too. Where might the reason be?
