Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org Hi I think I may have the same card. (or similar) The sb emulation is only 8 bits. almost all cards which emulate sb only work in 8 bits. You need to use the mss. Try using the sgalaxy driver, it works great for me. I use : modprobe sgalaxy io=0x530 irq=7 sgbase=0x220 dma=1 dma2=0 Look at your autoexec.bat file, it will probably set galaxy= something.
