Are there other > drivers that allow this card to be used in full-duplex mode? There seems to be quite a few versions of SB 16 out there, so it can get a little confusing talking about them. I have a SoundBlaster ViBRA16C PnP model CT4180 soundcard (as opposed to the ViBRA16x (not sure if 'x' there is a metacharacter or not) discussed in the kernel docs and such, mine supports an 8-bit and a 16-bit DMA AFAICT (at least, the kernel doesn't complain, and the snd_dma16 option is set to 5). The latest ALSA (0.4.1b) works wonderfully for me (potato, self-compiled 2.2.12 kernel) in full-duplex mode. If you want, i can post a rough outline of what i did, and the relavent config files.

The manual states that you can only have one session of simultaneous playback/recording at a time, playback and recording must use the same [hardware] sample rate, and "you cannot add reverberation when you play back Wave files", whatever that means. Speaking of manuals, why does it claim the audio card _requires_ a VGA or SVGA card? - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN/vQ3r7M/9WKZLW5AQGmpwP8DYBk0KW/m7PZKdyVXkB2nmEjHN09LsRj XXfoKm0VxvptJfWzwX6D6Ng59laH3FLECdKM0iaSncQ38oeTM9rSShaeUyKsuMLl fMot5TJUIJqcXx8OeJn3YRRGvdu/zSD10+/cfcsw/BM1rpanV/GArNHABGgIIo1m P8BNp4iHvpA= =3u+i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
