I'm just assuming it's the best the driver can do. I'm using the ALSA drivers for a (borrowed) SBLive! and am quite impressed with the sound quality - through a Teac amplifier and Sonab speakers seated on a pair of incredibly expensive stands. Nothing tinny or fuzzy about the sound at all (even on digitised 20-year-old cassettes). Have you tried the ALSA drivers? -- |Deryk Barker, Computer Science Dept. | Music does not have to be understood| |Camosun College, Victoria, BC, Canada| It has to be listened to. | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |phone: +1 250 370 4452 | Hermann Scherchen. |
