I needed to modify something, because most music is 44100Hz and the driver did not work with this rate. 61,62c61,62 < #undef XXX_48K_ONLY < #define XXX_CONT_RATE --- > #define XXX_48K_ONLY > #undef XXX_CONT_RATE 529a530,532 > case 44100: > ratec = 0x4c; > break; It also needs to run in 48000Hz mode or else it will playback way to slow. I think this flag in ratec switches to 96KHz mode in the X-Fi, in windows this mode is only available in Audio creation mode, so it must be handled in a special way somehow. Great work with the driver, finally I have sound under linux as creative's driver only oopsed the kernel for me :) _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
