Oh yeah, I forgot about the tools... I found that digital doesn't work (my centre speaker hisses) so I just use analog. Haven't really played about with the emu10k1 tools. I also compiled the drivers from Creative Open Source. Did you install the standard emu-tools package that come with Mandrake or did you download the tarball from Creative? I haven't used the Mandrake one so I don't know anything about it. If you compiled the drivers from source: --- have you since upgraded your kernel? Sometimes a kernel upgrade requires any software/drivers that you have compiled from source to be (re-)compiled against the new kernel. --- Your kernel must be compiled with loadable modules and soundcard support and without any integrated emu10K1 soundcard drivers. --- Plug'n'pray must be disabled in bios. --- Did you edit the Makefile.config before compiling. --- Try setting AC3PASSTHROUGH=no (if you haven't already) in the emu10k1.conf file. I haven't had any problems with it (well apart from digital not working properly). You could check the FAQ at Creative. Umm... can't think of anything else... skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
