Moparx Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 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 :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemical Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 check the alsa mixer maybe the scratchy sound is coming from a volume setting with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStaticVoid Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
