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 know! lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
