4-speaker sound not working
Hi Viewers, I'm hoping someone can help me out with the only remaining niggle (hopefully) that I have with my very first Linux install. I am using SUSE Linux Professional 9.1 and having problems with 4-speaker sound. Basically only my front speakers work, the two rear speakers are silent. YaST picked the CS4614/22/24 CrystalClear Sound Fusion Audio Accelerator driver for my Videologic Sonic Fury soundcard. This works beautifully with two speakers, however I do feel slightly cheated that only half my speaker system is actually playing ball! I have mucked about with all the different sound levels in YaST but the two rear speakers continue to make as much noise as a dead parrot encased in cotton wool. Please can somebody let me know if they have had the same problem with 4-speakers under SUSE 9.1 and if so did they manage to sort it out? Please be gentle with your response. As I mentioned at the start of this message, this is my first Linux install and it is one hell of a sharp learning curve for this here user! -- David .~. / ^ \ /| |\ simply change .\ /. .^.
Can anyone suggest a good 3D graphics card for suse 9.1. The hardware database sucks - cause it is not setup to quickly find a card when you have many choices. Thanks, Joe

Depends what you mean by 'Good'. If you buy Nvidia, you can buy as good as your budget will go. I have a GeForce 5950 Ultra on my 64-bit box - the machine that I'm typing this email on - that I'm delighted with. It was about cutting edge, when I bought it, earlier this year, but it's been superceded, now. I also have one of their little 64-bit GeForce Vertoo PCI jobbies, in my basic 32-bit CD burner box, and that holds up fine for most work, as well. Essentially, any AGP is as good as it's supporting software, however, so I'd definitely advise you to buy Nvidia until ATI sort their act out. Take it easy, Dan BTW, this machine has been running 9.2 since I installed it, about two hours ago. Very nice install procedure.

I did have to make sure that I checked the NVIDIA driver update when performing an online update with YaST however, in order to get the 3D acceleration working. -- David .~. / ^ \ /| |\ simply change .\ /. .^.

It's hard to go wrong with nvidia cards - I've been happy with riva tnt2, geforce 2, geforce 4, which all use the same excellent nvidia linux driver, and they all give good bang for the buck. Doom 3 may force me to get an nvidia 6800 though. Joe
the only recommendation that I would give is not to buy ATI's newer
cards as they do not have great linux drivers. The nvidia has much
better drivers.
This is coming from someone who has an ATI's card and is "stuck" with it
