Hi, I've just installed Slackware 9.1 on my main desktop, after years of running it on my laptop. I seem to be having some problems with ALSA, which I have never used before. Yes I have search extensively for an answer, with no joy.
Basically, it loads. installs the correct kernel modules, but seems to be emiiting nothing but white noise. I have similar results in windows if I set my card to "Digital output only"
My card is a Soundblaster Live 5.1 Digital Entertainment.
It has 3 outputs, front stereo, rear stereo and centre/sub.
It works fine when I run it under Debian using the standard creative driver. And also in windows.
I have tried to disable digital output in Alsa with no luck
anyone got any ideas?
