I am running 4.3-STABLE (last update 5/28/01). My kernel config includes device pcm device sbc and no other soundcard driver references. At boot time, these devices are recognized thus: sbc0: <Creative SB AWE64> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.16> on sbc0 Playback works just fine, but I have an odd problem when recording... When recording with wavrec, I can only set 8-bit sound; but I actually get a file of 16-bit samples with a header that says they are 8-bit samples. I can play this file back using "wavplay -b 16" and it sounds great; but of course very few people can play it that way. I have also tried using SpeakFreely with this card, and again, I can hear just fine with sfspeaker, but sfmike sends out completely unusable packets (loud static at the other end, making me think that again the sample size is being incorrectly reported). With both wavrec and sfmike, I have tried using devices dsp and dspW in a (rather uneducated) effort to force sample size by device name. No luck. Any ideas how I could fix this? Please CC me directly when sending any responses. -- Doug Lee dgl@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~dgl Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!'
