Considerating the Hercules Gametheater XP breakout box as a cheap construction the soundquality you will get from the analog output, speakers, headphones, etc. will never be very good. (But using the SPDIF output to an external receiver works great, at least forme -:) ) About you sound-experience, sounds like there some trouble with the soundcard amplifier, you would experience this kind of trouble if it for some reason have been turned of (which in theory should not happen with rc5 or latest CVS) Actually there was a hack related to the CD-input, which turned of the amplifier when CD-line input was unmuted. Could you try with rc2 and latest CVS to unmute CD-input and test you hear any diference, if you can disconnect the CD-input cable physically from the soundcard, and see if you hear any diference ? > One strange thing is that in alsamixer the chipset line is "Cirrus Logic > CS4294 rev 5,Cirrus Logic CS4294 rev 5" which seems a bit wrong. > The GTXP has two CS4294 codec's, look's OK to me. /Benny ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
