Hi again,
I've got my SoundBlaster PCI64 working last night. Took me a while, but
on the way learned a lot about Linux and compiling kernels etc. It gets
nicer every day!
But, I still have a little question. The soundcard works o.k.. I tested
it with a cd-player program and it played my audio cd's alright. Then
tested it by playing some .au sounds with cat 'soundfile.au >
/dev/audio' and it also played the sound alright. But it didn't play
other sound formats like .wav files (only a lot of noise). I know that
.wav is a M$ Winblows sound format, but on the other hand KDE only uses
.wav sounds as systems sounds (??). I can't get them to play either.
My questions:
- Is there something I forgot to set in my KDE configuration?
- Or is there something to install which translates these sounds into
.au-sounds.
- is .au the defacto sound 'standard' under linux/unix? (I know it is a
Sun format)
Thanks in advance,
Marcel
