Soundcard

[Marcus Zingmark]

Hi!

Got Fedora Core 4 installed since yesterday and getting to know it 
better hour for hour.

I have problem with my Soundcard and I'm quite sure it's software 
related cause it works well under Windows. The thing is that I have 
sound and all but it's a buzzing sound that's quite annoying that have 
not been there before. The buzz disapears if I pause the track so it 
does not seem to be related to the cables/speakers.

Linux had no trouble finding my sound device but I'm a bit confused by 
the name cause the soundcard detector says: "Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI" and 
I'm quite sure I have Creative Labs Soundblaster 128PCI. Can this be a 
driver issue?

Would be very tankeful for help with this issue, and keep it simple 
cause I'm really a newbie ;)

Might your motherboard also have built-in sound? Which MB do you have?

Open volume control.  Mute microphone and line-in if these inputs are unused.

They are down to bottom. But to my main question. Do I have the right 
driver if the detector says "Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI" when I have 
Soundblaster 128PCI?

Marcus,

More than likely you do.  Per google hits and the alsa website some 128
PCI Soundblasters use the Ensoniq chipset.  1371 or something like that.

There is another, unresolved, thread concerning distortion with the
Ensoniq based sound card originated by William Case.  Possibly you have
the same problem.

If you sound is distorted, check the kmix setting for the IEC958 option.
If it is turned on,  turn it off (mute it).

I had distorted sound problems with FC4 with this option turned on.

Thanks Bruce, that did it. I no longer have distorted sound. Terrific :D
