I have an SB Live and from what I can tell it sounds no worse than my old SB16. Sometimes its a little quieter than I'd like (I usually have to have the volume set at >75, frequently closer to 95 across the board to get anything audible out of the card in FreeBSD, although the windows driver needs to be turned down to about 30 or so to be tolerable). Also, it doesn't support multichannel audio in FreeBSD (IE no /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp0.2 etc...). In what way is the "quality low" anyway? Is it scratchy? Noisy? Tinny? Does it sound like 8bit 4khz audio? What were you using to test? -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
