Regular playback is working (speaker-test and aplay both work, as does Amarok with Alsa selected for playback). Skype playback does work, but is horribly choppy (unusable really), unlike my other card, an old SB Live! 1024 player. However, the Audigy SE does not work with Quake 4 and Doom 3. There is some output, but it is just a collection of random sounds. I have tried both stereo and 5.1 configurations. Also, output must be sent through the plug plugin or the games complain about a sampling mismatch (48KHz found but 44.1KHz required). ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- malk271 - 01-09-06 09:48 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Can you reproduce the problem with an app we have the source code to? I don't know. I guess my point is that the card is not working with the apps I am using. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jcdutton - 01-09-06 11:04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a known problem. Any snd-ca0106 based sound card will not work with Doom3 or Quake 4. Support for this requires a sound card buffer abstraction layer to be added to alsa-lib. I.e. hardware buffer size different from application buffer size. This feature in alsa-lib is unlikely to be implemented any time soon.
