Hi list,

Recently I bought a new motherboard+cpu+memory with an on-board sound
card (the CMI-PCI8738). When I play some audio, everything is fine,
however, when I try to record something, it performs really bad: there
IS sound, but it sounds some kind of 'metallic'.

So, I tried my plain old Ensoniq ES1371, that worked perfectly with my
old motherboard, but that one has an almost inverted problem: sound
recording is OK, but playback sounds like an LP with dust on it. Like
there are xruns, but the driver doesn't say so.

I tried memory-mapped recording, tried with real OSS, native ALSA and
ALSA-OSS, nothing worked...

Does anyone know what this could be?

Thanks in advance!

Grtz, Martin

Here's some info about the (Debian) system, if you need more, let me
