Re: [slim] Squeezeslave sound distorted on SheevaPlug over USB DAC

Hi, I have the same problem with another hardware : Iomega Iconnect. I notice that sound crackles a lot when using alsa (my USB DAC is an E-MU 0204), but when I use Pulseaudio, sound is great. I don't know why such a difference. Maybe, it can help you. Have you found a solution to your problem

Hi, Ty for this explanation, but I don't use squeezeplug on Iconnect but arch linux. I try to understand what you describe and I think the actual problem is not really there, because some USB audio device can support mmap, so I think, the solution should be to use a specific driver for my sound
