I have the same problem with my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card (cs46xx). I haven't used the capture device yet, but the metallic sound happens in playback, also randomly. For example, in gaim, incoming IM sounds will be normal, and then all of a sudden, switch to that metallic sound (the source sound file is the same, but the playback is extremely different). It seems to be a problem that is triggered only when opening the device, because it happens in XMMS as well, when playing a song file -- if this anomaly is triggered when the song is started, it remains throughout he entire song, unless stopped and restarted, or going to the next track.
I hope this helps someone understand the problem, but I'm afraid I can't tell what is the actual trigger for it. -Joe On Thu, 2003-10-23 at 14:01, Eloy A.
