If you want a GUI tool for this task: YaST2->System->/etc/sysconfig Editor-> Hardware->Soundcard->SOUNDFONT_FILES.
Or use "Others" -> "Install SoundFonts" in yast sound card module. It copies SoundFonts from the driver CD and installs them automatically.
Nice. I don't have an Audigy/Live/AWE card. I suppose that this option is hidden for any other soundcard models, right? Anyway, there are more SoundFonts available out there in addition to those provided by the manufacturer driver CD. For instance, GeneralUser by Christian S.Collins or the collections listed in http://hammersound.net . Is it possible to install and configure them using yast? And what about soft-synths like FluidSynth to render MIDI events, needed by owners of simple sound cards like the integrated devices in most laptops and cheap PCs? But looks like the original poster could configure his Audigy already, and he is now struggling with distorted sound output. Probably because he is using PulseAudio and the defaults don't work well for his system. It would be nice to have a yast module to configure PulseAudio's /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and /etc/security/limits.conf For my Intel HDA integrated soundcard (asus laptop), these are the working values that I needed to change: * File: /etc/pulse/daemon.conf realtime-scheduling = yes realtime-priority = 5 default-sample-rate = 48000 default-fragments = 6 default-fragment-size-msec = 48 * File: /etc/security/limits.conf (my userid is a member of the audio group). @audio - rtprio 70 @audio - memlock unlimited @audio - nice -20 Regards, Pedro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+help@opensuse.org
