Hello, I am going to install a SB 16 (not PnP) CT1770. Is there any advantage to using OSS by 4front versus the driver built into the Linux kernal?
Upgrading is easier and quicker as you own't have to compile a new kernel
And the sound drivers in kernel 2.2 produce dropouts. And some people's hardware (like mine, which is the same as yours) are not friendly with the driver; the driver has a bug still which makes it so that you *must* load sb as a module on this card, and rmmod it on shutdown. Otherwise, if you don't cold boot it, it freezes solid when it tries to load it again. ------------------------------------------------ Ewan Dunbar northsky@ix.netcom.com ------------------------------------------------ Visit Preston Manning: Action Hero at <A HREF="http://earl.thedunbars.com/pmah/index.html"><A HREF="http://earl.thedunbars.com/pmah/index.html</A">http://earl.thedunbars.com/pmah/index.html</A</A>> ------------------------------------------------ -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
