Hi, here's the new revision of the Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 driver. The driver now initializes correctly for the 24.576Mhz crystal and also I have added some more controls for adc oversampling ratio (in theory should be changed automatically to 64x at 96Khz sampling rate) and dac de-emphasis. The initialization sequence of the WM8770 has been modified to reduce the pop noise at startup (now it's almost nono-existant). Also the volume control updates now only at zero cross automatically to reduce again the noise when changing volumes. I think the aureon driver should also benefit from these two so I include a patch for the aureon.c too. Finally there is some misconception in the aureon & prodigy drivers: the codec chip does not have a Master control as it appears at the mixer. Instead the master control just updates the 8 volume controls of the individual DAC at the same time. Probably the best way is to add a virtual master control (ie that we update the volumes of the dac with + ). As I wrote some days ago, the default buffer/period rates that alsarecord uses at 44.1KHz and lower sampling , locks hard the kernel. Have no idea what is it/how to fix it whatsoever. Apostolis
