Soundproblems: Only right channel (unstable / 2.6.6 / terratec xfire 1024 (cs46xx))
Hey all,
I recently installed a fresh debian on my box (I need not really mention
how happy I am with everything so far - that would only seem like
flattery to get more willing helpers - so instead I will mention this
fact and hope to get more willing helpers through my great insight into
internet communication :P). I used to run SuSE 7.2 before, with an Alsa
of version 0.5 something. Lots of things did not work there, but normal
playback of PCM worked fine. Now the situation is reversed: Lots of
things work very well with Alsa 1.0.4 (I believe it's 1.0.4 - that's
what alsamixer says - any way I can use apt-cache to find out which
version of alsa I have installed?), but there is a problem with normal
sound playback (read wav, mp3, ogg, whathaveyou): For some strange
reason, only the right channel plays. Right before I installed this
fresh debian I was using Win XP, and I remember very well that this
problem did not exist. It did not exist in my SuSE either. It's been
like this for weeks now, I frequently change between speakers and
headphones, so I'm rather sure it's nothing to do with either speakers
or connector on the soundcard.
I am using debian unstable, kernel 2.6.6, alsa 1.0.4 (presumably), my
card is a Terratex XFire 1024 which runs the cs46xx chip (I remember
this information to be correct back from my alsa setup in SuSE). If
there's any other information about my system that'd be relevant, any
conf files or anything, ask away.
Thank you for your attention already,
Daniel Klein
