Sound Blaster Live voices sound far off
I recently installed a new SB Live! on my Gentoo computer. I'm using the emu10k1 driver, which is integrated in kernel 2.6.*. I physically installed the card, recompiled the kernel modules, installed the module, and ran alsaconf. The sound works, but it is not very good. When playing music in XMMS, the tracks seem to be out of proportion. The background music will be so loud that it makes me cringe, yet the voice seems to be coming from another room. I played with the different tracks in alsamixer to see if changing them helped the problem, but no luck. I'm pretty sure that this is simply a problem with my mixer configuration, but I haven't yet been able to figure out how to fix it. Could anyone please give me some advice?
Regards,
Edward S. Rice
