[S.u.S.E. Linux] /etc/apsfilterrc

Perhaps SuSE should just make 1n the default for apsfilter, since this is how 99.950f us print anyway. That would also prevent the /etc/apsfilterrc issue from being addressed every other week on the list.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] I have sound and RealAudio 5.0!
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

Following the excellent advice I've received right here at 'suse-linux-e(a)suse.com': I've re-compiled my kernel for sound, and using 'isapnp', I've got my Creative Labs SoundBlaster AWE32 PnP soundcard working without using the OSS driver. (this works for the newer AWE64's also, per testimonies) The benefits are: 1) better sound 2) RealAudio 5.0 works flawlessly The OSS driver is flawed as far as RealAudio 5.0 is concerned. For all of the posters who have been suffering from the "it cuts out after only about one second" RealAudio 5.0 syndrome, this is the answer! Thanks to all who have helped me in these matters!!!! ----------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

<PRE> Ive installed SuSE 5.1 a bunch of times now, and never had this problem.

Hi Dee, I also have a Creative labs AWE-64 sound card (not the Gold model). What is this 'OSS' , is it a SuSE utility package ? and where can I obtain this 'OSS'. Also, what are the pit-falls in using this 'OSS' to configure AWE-64 sound card. Thank you for you help in advance. Regards, -Chris >I have a AWE64 Gold w/4megs and using SuSE 5.2 and the latest from OSS >it works flawlessly. It is a 16bit card not PCI and nothing special >was needed.

Hi Ken Thank you for the fast response your suggestion worked wonderfully. I didn't realize that there was a 'rc' file associated with the printing, O well.
