I have the Audigy, and I believe it is using emu10k2 driver. I would like to try the tool file, particularly as I have the front panel, and I have never befroe seen anything about the possibility of using it. Do you know if the file you mention is compatible with emu10k2? I think I shall try to find a way of asking Creative about this, though it's amazing how difficult some manufacturers make it.

Actually, yes, I have. Under windows, I would have 2 different volume controls for CDs.. I would have CD Audio, and Digital CD. playing with the CD Audio volume would result in no change from the Standard cd player, but messing with the Digital CD volume would.. unfortunately, I can find no mixer control that even remotely sounds like it would be the Digital CD volume. I am also using the latest 9.0 alsa drivers directly from the alsa-project.org website. Is there another set of drivers you recommend? -- Chuck Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've got a SoundBlaster Live that I've used in 3 different comps now, with version 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and finally 9.0... All comps and versions have allowed me to play CD audio. I used a 4 connector audio cable (not SPDIF) and its never failed. Thats hardware. Once in software, I had to make a link between my devices. ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc Otherwise, it would not play.
