Here is what bothers me. The card seems to use 2 DMA channels, but one is always working bad (the 16 bit DMA channel). > > But I'm definitely getting 16-bit stereo output. > That's right. I have sound too. Under enlightenment, the default window manager for gnome, which uses a sound daemon calles esd, the card produces no sound at all. I get warnings in the syslog all the time. I want to use this card with speak-freely, but it refuses to work in full duplex mode, because of the faulty DMA channel. Full duplex is needed to speak and listen at the same time with speak-freely. Thanks for your suggestions greg.
