And yes, there are no seperate cables from the DVD drive, just the IDE interface.
I know. It's weird. I could listen to the audio off dvd tracks all day long without it bothering me, but 2 minutes of any other audio makes me want to turn sound back off.
What about music CDs? Do they sound OK?
Do you have a microphone, headset for VoIP/games or other audio input connected and have you tested with those unplugged? In kmix are those muted? Thinking of feedback squeal.
No, the only thing connected currently is the speaker system. I wonder if I should go ahead and try to put dummy loads (or whatever you'd call them in this context) on those input/output jacks.
Might give you another "DVD sounds fine" clue.
Microphone inputs and auxillary outputs are all muted.
Don't forget to unmute if you plug something into them!
Good clues and troubleshooting so far. I keep thinking that there is one slider in kmix or alsamixergui that you are missing. One of my systems needed DAC or ADC (iirc) slider set about 50% or I'd get weird squealing under 10.2 and it had never done that before since 7.3. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...
Nod, it wouldn't surprise me. The es1370 has very few options, though the onboard has a slew of them. I don't see a DAC or ADC (although I'm not familiar with those terms, so perhaps I'm just not making the connection with what's in the list.)
Analog-Digital Converter and Digital-Analog Converter IINM. How about IEC958 or External Amplifier or anything that may deal with amplification, gain, etc that is overpowering the sound output?
Thanks,
Derek
How about muting everything all at once and then enabling just Master Volume and PCM or something? Bare minimum for noise. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
