I am using Creative Live Value !! card and Debian Potato. Earlier I was using RH 6.1, on which, it was giving excellent performance, with drivers downloaded from developer.soundblaster.com, even better performace than in Windows 98. I installed the same drivers in Deb, but unfortunately, the sound quality is very inferior, with distortion and all. I tried alsa drivers also, but didn't help. Is there any known problem with Potato - Live value compatibility ? Is there any known solution ?I have the same soundcard. I am using a alsa-version which I got directly from their site. I sounds good. But Midi-synth is not working.
I'm running the same card in potato but with a kernel 2.4.0-test7 and the kernels own SBLive driver (seems to be the one Creative put OpenSource some time ago), and... for what I tested by now, it *rocks*, sound quality is much better than on the Window$9x. Hmmmm, but just for curiosity I wanted to try the alsa drivers, which I didn't do because I'm not really familiar with the way ALSA handles the sound modules... Can anybody help me with *what* exactly put to modules.conf to get SBLive running with ALSA on potato?
