terratec 7.1 audigy space

[Stefan Kombrink]

Hello there,

  Regarding to 
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=Alsa+Preferred+Soundcards
I bought a Terratec 7.1 audigy space and installed it on a debian sarge with
kernel 2.4.27 and alsa 1.0.6.

The module is loaded properly, and alsamixer seem to handle the card very 
well.
But I can't get any output, neither on "rear" nor on "front" or "center lfe".
Recording gives a straight wave form as well.
I found out that aplay hangs infinitely unless the wav sample is 48kHz S32_LE.
In that case aplay terminates successfully although no output is generated 
anyways.

I haven't had the possibility to try the card under Win yet.
What's more likely?
An Alsa problem or an malfunctional hardware?

 any help is appreciated,
  Stefan K. >8^)

I would think it was an alsa configuration problem first, as others have 
reported some problems, on Debian, as well. Here's a link on how to 
setup alsa on Debian:

Try upgrading to alsa-driver 1.0.7.

I was very dissapointed with Mandrake 10.1 using alsa 1.0.6 and the 7.1 
space.  From my vauge recollection I could only get front sound, and capture 
did not work.  That was only slightly better than other distros that I have 
tried previously to get sound from my card.

I upgraded to alsa-driver-1.0.7 and it worked great on 6 channels and 
capture as well.  I did not even try to install the alsa-lib-1.0.7 due to a 
previous nightmare experience installing alsa onto Mandrake 10.0.

regards,
John.
