From: steef on 13 Jan 2006 03:30 greetings to you all! bought very cheap a creative audigy sound-card: chip(set) *ca0106*. as a sarge-user i discovered debian_alsa under kernel 2.6.8-2-k7 doesnot have this driver. so i downloaded, compiled and installed alsa-lib, version 1.0.11rc2, and the appropriate alsa-utils and tools. so far so good: the sound_output is way better than the of the AC97-codec. *but* when i try to record sound (speech) with sound-recorder i cannot get sound out of the playback of the produced *.wav-files (homne/steef/wav, /home/steef/wav_1) with sound-recorder. in alsamixer i have correctly put on the IEC958_knob and the mic_input as well as *capture*. i know this could be a problem of a beta-driver or something like that and i gonna put this question/problem too on the alsa-list. *but....maybe some of you can help me out??? and tell me what i did possibly wrong* thanks in advance, steef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Mine shows "model SB0410". My kernel is 2.6.15-ck1 and it *does* have ca0106. I run Sarge and have installed: ii alsa-base 1.0.8-7 ALSA driver configuration files ii alsa-utils 1.0.8-4 ALSA utilities ii libasound2 1.0.8-3 ALSA library Last time I tried the sound was terrible. But that was not with this kernel. I have never tried getting the latest alsa-lib. I do not know to what alsa-lib level this kernel refers. So I could try what you are trying, provided I can get sound out of the card. H -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
