have a Compaq nx9010 laptop with built in Southbridge Audio. Because it has a flaky head phone jack and the line-in recording quality was bad I bought a SB Audigy 2 ZS PC Card. The SB seems to have disabled the Southbridge because the notebook speakers don't work anymore. But the headphone output of the SB is great. The problem is that I use Audacity 1.3 on Mandriva 2007 PWP KDE with all the updates as of 12/16/06 and line-in recording does not work. Audacity states "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate."
Here is my config for sound for both Mandriva and KDE... *** According to Mandriva Hardware Probe **** Identification Vendor: Creative Labs Description: SB0400 Audigy2 Value Media class: MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO Connection Bus: PCI Bus PCI #: 2 PCI device #: 0 PCI function #: 0 Vendor ID: 0x1102 Device ID: 0x0008 Sub vendor ID: 0x1102 Sub device ID: 0x2001 Driver Module: snd-emu10k1 Alternative drivers: audigy, emu10k1 Identification Vendor: Acer Labs Inc.

I would really appreciate it someone could help me get the line-in recording working with Audacity. Thanks, Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
