Re: [Alsa-user] Re: emu10k1, sound blaster audigy two zs and digital output

[edoardo <edoardo@lastorina.it>]

output for the version:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.8 (Thu Jan 13 09:39:32 2005 UTC).

i remember readin' here in this mailin' list that my card is fully 
supported from 1.0.9 on, so that may be the issue? anyway, playin' the 
.wav file as you suggested works, and optical raw *is* turned on, so 
that's not the issue. also playin' cds with both totem and xine-ui works 
fine, although optical raw is not turned on and you *can* change the 
volume from software.

now what i'm wonderin' is that maybe the alsa-driver i'm usin' ain't 
appropriate, but that's what comes with my kernel (2.6.11). shall i 
uncheck the modules from within the kernel and install gentoo's 
alsa-driver, which is 1.0.9? i'll try, then i'll let y'all now.

ciao! : )
