fedora: scratchy static with sb live 5.1


Recommended Posts

i am running fedora and an unable to get my sound blaster live working correctly.

when ever i attempt to listen to an mp3 or play a dvd i get a lound scratchy static and what i want to hear is barely audible. i can listen to audio cds perfectly though.

i have alsa running right now. both it and oss cause the scratchy static and i even went a far as trying to use the old creative drivers from opensource.creative.com. at the moment i cannot think of anything else to try.

both settings used:

OSS

modules.conf

alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1

post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

[root@localhost moparx]# /sbin/lsmod |grep snd

snd-mixer-oss 16496 0 (autoclean) (unused)

snd 46820 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss]

soundcore 6500 4 (autoclean) [snd emu10k1]

attempting to remove the module:

[root@localhost moparx]# /sbin/rmmod emu10k1

emu10k1: Device or resource busy

ALSA

i use alsaconf and it does detect the card.

modules.conf

alias char-major-116 snd

alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss

alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss

alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss

alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1

[root@localhost moparx]# /sbin/lsmod |grep snd

snd-emu10k1 86212 0

snd-pcm 85700 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1]

snd-timer 19876 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm]

snd-hwdep 7008 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1]

snd-util-mem 3096 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1]

snd-rawmidi 18784 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1]

snd-ac97-codec 58796 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1]

snd-page-alloc 10196 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm]

snd-seq-device 6300 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi]

snd-mixer-oss 16496 0 (autoclean) (unused)

snd 46820 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd -hwdep snd-util-mem snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec snd-seq-device snd-mixer-oss]

soundcore 6500 3 (autoclean) [snd]

everything appears to be fine according to that :|

First off, make sure the Master volume and PCM volume is below 80% when using ALSA. Also make sure that SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack is muted. At least thats what I did to fix my scratchy sound with ALSA.
