-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a Dell E1705 with an Intel HDA Controller that I'm trying to get working correctly with FC4 (the race is on to see if I can work all the little kinks out before updating to FC5 :). Running system-config-soundcard, the test sound is played and sounds perfect. However, playing sound in any other app doesn't sound as good. It's crackly, like old vinyl, and quite a bit lower in volume. Looking at s-c-s, the command it runs to play the test sound is essentially: aplay -D plughw:0,0 -N /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav Running this directly, sound is great. Removing the -Dplughw:0,0 results in sh crackly, subpar sound. I don't know alsa configuration all that well, so I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks, - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== I have to decide between two equally frightening options. If I wanted to do that, I'd vote. -- Duckman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iG0EARECAC0FAkQZwoomGGh0dHA6Ly93d3cucG9ib3guY29tL350bXovcGdwL3Rt ei5hc2MACgkQuv+09NZUB1rZdgCfWxL6Q/GdKwNuWvSiEbLdVkvB0qoAn3kz3WJD csExewhVDOpeRHpVoFA5 =vtRS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
