hi guys, i have one of these SiS 7018 builtin soundcards, which are handled by the Trident/4DWave driver. previously, sound worked just fine from linux until i screwed something over. for a while, i couldn't get any sound to work, but today, after upgrading to woody and trying around with alsa, i suddenly got it to work again.
however, the PCM sound is awefully distorted. i have a TV card that plugs into the Line-In of the card, and its sound is fed through and heard on the speakers just fine, but any .wav, .au, or .mp3 file, properly played, results in crazy distortion - which is still present if i turn down the software mixer channels to virtually nothing and amplify the output with a stereo. in short, i think that distorted sound is being produced by the driver, and while i'd love to know if there are other people with the same problem, i'd much rather have a fix... any ideas? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- kill ugly radio -- frank zappa
