Hi All, I hope that someone on this list has had the same problems I am having and knows what the work around is.
I am am having a weird problem and I have tried a lot of distros and would like your help. I am using a Creative Audigy 2 Value Sound Card with a 5.1 analogue setup and an analogue microphone. Preferably I would like to use Ubuntu as my distro as they have a large repository. When using Ubuntu and I disable Pulse Audio my microphone works and I install all the extra files to play back cd's etc but when I play it back no sound comes out. If I enable pulse audio it will only work using two speakers. If I try enable pulse audio on 5 speakers and doing the test I get jerky sound and I tried googling and testing and working inf files changing things in the pulse files but that does not help. When using Mageia version 2 I disable Pulse Audio and my sound works fine but only with the k music player. If I use Rythmbox no sound comes out at all. To me it looks like the later Distros require pulse audio to play back stuff. Is there a way to get my sound card working correctly with Pulse Audio installed.
