audigy2 zs pcmcia: distorted sound output

[Fernando Lopez-Lezcano]

Hi all, I'm again trying out an audigy2 zs pcmcia notebook soundcard
that I had shelved a while back. It used to completely hang my machine
when inserting it. It no longer does that which is good news! 

Regretfully I can only get very distorted sound out of it, no matter
what volume level I use on all controls. Any recent fixes in the alsa
tree for this? I'm running alsa 1.0.10 and a realtime preempt 2.6.15
based kernel.

There are changes in the headphone output sound when I move the CD fader
in alsamixer, weird. 

Anyone out there with experience with this card?
Thanks.
-- Fernando

That was fixed on 21/12/2005 in the alsa cvs.
I.e. >= alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2.tar.bz2

So, 1.0.10 is not good.
