ok, i am extremely confused on this. occasionally my sblive platinum (emu10k1) won't play though my speakers which are hooked up on the drive tray spdif out. the first time i was able to get the sound card to work, it played through the speakers but then a week later it stopped for a while and now its started up again. It isn't the feature that mutes the speakers when headphones are pluged in since the headphone jack doesn't work under linux (or hasn't) and putting headphones in doesn't mute it. any ideas on what this might be doing -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
