Re: Emu 1212M
Hi Margot, This link is supposed to solve all your sound issues... Unfortunately, it didn't work for me, because my crappy old machine wouldn't recognize my atapi dvd drive for the desktop reinstall. Hopefully you'll have more patience & better luck than I. Regards, Gary Ball home.cogeco.ca/~gball On 21-Mar-08, at 9:02 PM, Margot Copeland wrote: In 7.04 a reinstall gave me audio!

Re: Gary Ball - Look here for cheap stuff
Thanks, I just bought a card from tiger direct that sez it works for linux systems (CMI-8738 chip) $12.98 (Can). I'll let you all know how it goes...

Re: Jack and SB-awe soundcard
Yes, the sound eventually did work (after a lot of trial & error & self help on the internet) using the SB-awe alsa driver, just not anything to do with JACK.

Re: Jack and SB-awe soundcard
Thanks for your help! This Ubuntustudio User help is a great community Although it looks as if I'm going shopping for a new soundcard today. I'm a graphic designer, so the sound mixing element of my day isn't huge. But that's about half of what this flavour of Linux is supposed to excel in right? Who knows, maybe a career change as a DJ in a nightclub is in order? I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, Gary Ball On 15-Mar-08, at 11:34 AM, D.
