Thanks all for the suggestions! I've had a good look at the audiophile card it it certainly appears to be okay. Hard to tell with all the tiny wires inside the chips, though. > If lspci /lsmod (etc) shows that your card is at all alive, I would > agree with the suggestion to try the puredyne live cd/dvd (pulseaudio > not included), or to just try the famous 'cure all ubuntu sound > issues' workaround, which is to kill/uninstall pulseaudio. Yes, that was my guess when it stopped working some months ago right after an auto-upgrade of my ubuntu 9.10. Right now I think I'll wait until I upgrade to 10.04 before doing much more. Does anyone know if this card actually works with the latest pulse audio? Before dicking around with all the work arounds I'd really like to know that the card DOES work. Yes, lspci, etc shows the card properly installed. And the pulse manager brings up the output choices. -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
