Out of curiosity, which mixer are you using that actually lets you toggle the digital output? My problem is the opposite. I'm using the digital out, but none of the litany of mixers included with Debian seem to be able to control the thing effectively. Especially for the purpose of managing recording/playback sources in a home studio setting. I've found joy with something called QAMix/KAMix, but it's not included with Debian, so it's not a viable alternative to offer to Joe Newbie. Anyway, since you have an Audigy, I'd be really interested in hearing how you've gotten along with it. I've chosen the emu10k1 as my "if all else fails, go buy one of these and do what I did" example, but I've only got a cheap Value Edition, and I have no idea how the game might change if I had something with a breakout box and all the extra little doohickies on it. In the short term, I'm writing an extensive tutorial for Rosegarden. In the medium to long term, I'm piddling with a new mixer/soundfont loader dedicated to the emu10k1 series cards that presents the controls I need, and hides all the mysterious, useless things like "IEC958 Optical Raw Playback" from my sight. This presents a real problem if I leave out something that's useful to someone else though, so I'd really love to hear about your own experiences using your mixer on your Audigy, with whatever application you prefer. At this point all I have are pencil drawings and some very preliminary GUI code that isn't hooked up to do anything yet (or even buildable). It would be a good time to introduce new lines of thinking, while I can still get it right the first time. In particular, since you *don't* use the digital playback, does the Master volume control work? On mine, it does not. I don't necessarily want to write a mixer that's everything to everyone, but I think the emu10k1 cards are a really decent all-around solution for people looking to upgrade from the ubiquitous crap audio-only soundcards that predominate I'm sort of rambling here, so forgive me. Thanks for anything you have to share. For the curious, I have a (very unofficial) deb of KAMix (binary renamed kqamix to avoid conflicts with the unofficial kamix (different app) packages I've seen; built against Sid) here (Q/KAMix comes from SuSE originally, I think. I needs a lot of help to build for Debian.): http://users.adelphia.net/~silvan/kqamix_0.0.7e-1_i386.deb The thing I have in mind is intended to work as well as KAMix on this hardware, but it won't have the .xml configurability, won't (necessarily) work on anything except the emu10k1, and it will (hopefuly) be seriously cool looking. -- Michael McIntyre Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There should be quite a list. If they are then try checking out the advanced options in the alsa mixer.

Not continuous, but on and off trying. I'm not yet sure it will stay working, but I'm hoping. My impression is that there a lot of modules that try to make sound work and that there is a real problem with them stepping on each other and that there are a lot of people who have sound working, but really don't know how it happened. And there are some people who do know. First, you have got to tell what version of Debian you are using, and what you have tried so far. Check if you, as a user of your machine, have been made a member of the audio group. What audio mixer are you using? I use kmix. Are your audio mixer volume adjustments all set at maximum volume? Do you have X installed? Gnome? KDE? A lot more questions should follow from others who know more, but for now, you haven't told enough about your set up.
