Re: Creative Live Value !!

2000-10-18 Thread Debian GNU
Hi All

I am also using Live value !!(emu10k1). I have been
using it with excellent quality in RH 6.1. When I
changed to Debian, it gives very poor quality of sound
with distortion etc. I tried both alsa and the driver
from Creative site. 

Can you give some more details regarding the
applications related to sound that you have installed,
like mixer etc. I cannot increase the volume in xmms
because of distortion 

Tnx and Rds,

Deb

I'm using Creative's module, built against 2.2.17, and it works perfectly.
The dsp and mixer devices work anyway, which is all I've yet to care about.

Creative Live Value !!

2000-10-17 Thread Debian GNU
Hi All,

I am using Creative Live Value !! card and Debian
Potato. Earlier I was using RH 6.1, on which, it was
giving excellent performance, with drivers downloaded
from developer.soundblaster.com, even better
performace than in Windows 98. I installed the same
drivers in Deb, but unfortunately, the sound quality
is very inferior, with distortion and all. I tried
alsa drivers also, but didn't help. Is there any known
problem with Potato - Live value compatibility ? Is
there any known solution ?

Tnx in advance and Regards,

Deb

I have the same soundcard. I am using a alsa-version
which I got directly from their site. I sounds good.
But Midi-synth is not working.

sound quality is much better than on the Window$9x. H, but just for 
curiosity I wanted to try the alsa drivers, which I didn't do because 
I'm not really familiar with the way ALSA handles the sound modules... 
Can anybody help me with *what* exactly put to modules.conf to get 
SBLive running with ALSA on potato?

TIA

Sorry I can't help with that but there is something else you might want to have
a look at.  If you grab the source from http://www.opensource.creative.com you
will gain 2 (at least, I can't remember) extra channels in the mixer :-).
