Well, I finally gave up on getting it to work satisfactorily for my
son and put it in my linux box instead (He got, and is happy with,
my old ESS1868 card since it can be made to work for DOS--by un-REMing
the driver entries in config.sys and autoexec.bat then doing a reboot,
which is more than the Creative/Ensoniq card would do for DOS).
Anyway, it seems to be partially working: Audio CDs play OK. The Real
Player G2 player plays the news and music from npr.com as well as it
ever did.
But when I cat a .au file to /dev/audio (such as the sample.au recording
of Linus saying "Leenooks" which sounded fine on my old ESS card), while
I can hear it, it is terribly distorted and noisy.
I don't have a midi config set up yet (playmidi reports that
/dev/sequencer is busy, and I haven't yet tried timidity), and I don't
know if any other forms of input to it work, not having access to any.
Can anybody provide any advice on the .au file problem, and (less
urgently) on the best (read easiest) way to get midi stuff working?
thanks!
Fred
