trident card distorted

[Martin F Krafft <madduck@madduck.net>]

hi guys,
i have one of these SiS 7018 builtin soundcards, which are handled by
the Trident/4DWave driver. previously, sound worked just fine from
linux until i screwed something over. for a while, i couldn't get any
sound to work, but today, after upgrading to woody and trying around
with alsa, i suddenly got it to work again.

however, the PCM sound is awefully distorted. i have a TV card that
plugs into the Line-In of the card, and its sound is fed through and
heard on the speakers just fine, but any .wav, .au, or .mp3 file,
properly played, results in crazy distortion - which is still present
if i turn down the software mixer channels to virtually nothing and
amplify the output with a stereo. in short, i think that distorted
sound is being produced by the driver, and while i'd love to know if
there are other people with the same problem, i'd much rather have a
fix...

any ideas?

martin;              (greetings from the heart of the sun.)
