Description: The Creative SB Live! 24-bit External is a "card" similar to the Audigy 2 NX (probably its litte brother). With the snd-usb-audio the ''only'' thing working is the stereo output. I read that the Audigy 2 NX works far better with the snd-usb-audio. Probably there is a way to get the SB Live! 24-bit on a similar lvl? PS: I added some informations about it as an attachment. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pzad - 11-23-04 21:09 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmm, did you tryed alsamixer ??? because there is capture volume too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Henni - 11-24-04 00:51 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes. I tried alsamixer. It shows only PCM Output and PCM Capture (I got "PCM capture" by using the "Show only Capture" option of alsamixer). I 'got' working the 4 and 6 channels Mode with mplayer by using the following option: mplayer $FILE -channels 4 (or 6) -ao alsa:device=default (I have to use alsa:device=default because mplayer tries to use surround41 or surround51 if you choose alsa and channels > 2 and this results in an error). But DigitalOut doesn't work as it should. If I choose mplayer $FILE -channels 4 the digital out works (testet with an Pioneer Home Cinema System with Optical In). With -channels 6 I get an underrun and with -ac hwac3 (for AC3 Passthrough) it doesn't work (there is no definition for the optical out).
