I missed the beginning of this thread, so forgive me if this has already been covered. Did you try listening through the onboard mixer at all? This removes the software from the equation.

My delta 1010lt performs flawlessly on linux (fedora core 1). -Joe On Thu, 2004-07-08 at 15:46, Russell Hanaghan wrote: > On Thu, 2004-07-08 at 12:20, Joe Hartley wrote: > > On Thu, 08 Jul 2004 10:19:41 -0700 > > Russell Hanaghan <hanaghan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > Still have some light "snap, crackle and pop" problems here.
