i had this problem with supplied mandrake rpms and managed to find a workaround:
1. tar up all the relevant modules in /lib/modules/my-kernel-number/kernel/sound (someone please check this is the alsa dir, im in winblows at the moment as i cant get my software modem working!) and erase the modules
2. *dont* uninstall any of the alsa rpms, just get a copy of CVS and untar it in /usr/src and work from there.
3. build CVS and install as normal but *DONT* run ./snddevices - because if you're using mandrake 8.2 or 9.x you'll be running devfs - this will foobar everything up....
4. do the usual to load modules, chmod a+rw /dev/snd/ /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer
5. should be okay.... cross fingers...!!!

Hello,
the inputs from my quattro are noisy and distorted. Sometimes the levels are very low, and sometimes they are overdriven. They always have some kind of digitizing-sounding noise. I have tried several versions of hotplug and alsa including cvs, with the quattro .asoundrc from Patrick Shirkey. I can't work out why sometimes when I boot up, the levels are so low, and other times way too high. I have tried cycling the power to thequattro between boots, plugging in usb only when booted, and various input sources. Even the "direct monitor" switch on the quattro box gives this gated digital-sounding noise. It doesn't have the noise when I try windows, so I guess it's not the hardware (but then it always crashes after about 5 minutes on windows!).
I noticed someone earlier on the dev list had some similar problem, but no clear solution. Does anyone have the quattro working cleanly? How?
thanks tim
