[Alsa-user] live or pci128
I am looking for a soundcard. My choices are sb live, or pci128 ($10 cheaper). I am in a remote location, so these are really my only two options. First: Yes, I did pour thru the mail list archives but did not find anything that specifically answered my question. In Linux, will I notice a difference in sound quality b/n these two cards? I don't care about recording quality, or surround sound, only 2-speaker +sub music output. Would love to hear opinions. TIA ~Shea Martin
[Alsa-user] re: pci128 or sbLive or AOpen card
Will any of these AOpen/Acer cards sound better than a SBLive or PCI128? (I am ordering a system from a vendor which only carries Creative and Acer sound cards). ACER AW320 PCI A3D WAVETABLE SOUND CARD ACER AW744 PRO YAMAHA YMF744 4-CHANNEL AOPEN AS9400 4 CHANNEL PCI SOUND CARD AOPEN AS9600 6 CHANNEL PCI SOUND CARD 5.1 The more opinions the better. I order on Wednesday. Thanks. Jens Benecke, wrote: "I don't think you'll notice sound quality. The SB128 is (IIRC) based on anEnsoniq chipset, the Live is based on the EMU10k chipset (which is muchmore powerful, but only used for effects, surround sound decoding,rendering MIDI output, etc). " thanks for advice.
[Alsa-user] .9 beta's and sblive
I just downloaded and installed the latest .9.0 beta8a drivers (stable version did not want to compile for me). I did a ./configure; make; make install on the three packages (drivers, libs, utils). I then did a modprobe emu10k1 (I have a sblive). The driver seemed to load fine. I then tried to unmute the card with "amixer set pcm 100 unmute" and got : bash$ amixer set pcm 100 unmute amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory I also tried : bash$ alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory Did I miss a step? ~Shea ps - is sblive broken in .9? ___ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
[Alsa-user] no libasound ?
I am trying to compile XAmixer, but keep getting the no libasound error. I have the .9.0beta8a alsa drivers, do they install libasound in a different location? ~S ___ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
