Re: [SLE] Sound card problems with SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional
Hm...Given that the sound card is integrated on the motherboard, will there be any bus conflicts if I install an Audigy card? Braun Brelin

Hello all,
I'm running with an AMD-64 system and a VIA integrated sound card. I've configured the card with alsaconf and it does work, but I'm finding the sound very disappointing. MP3's that played with good sound quality on my old system now sound distorted and "scratchy", as if I'm playing it too loud on an inferior quality speaker system. This works even if I'm using the same headphones I used on my old RH 9 system.
The VIA sound is probably AC97, which is a BAD chipset, IMHO. I'd buy a SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS and be a VERY happy camper for a LONG time! Yes, it's a little pricy, BUT if you have a good sound system, you can't beat this puppy!
Is there anything I can do to tweak the quality of the sound playback? I'm using SuSE Professional Linux 9.3 (the 32 bit version, even though I have a 64 bit CPU).

Shouldn't be as long as you disable it in the BIOS. But, I have the AC97 chipset onboard on my mobo and it works lovely. -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR

The Audigy work with PCI and should work provided you are have everything running and have not removed any prior modules for Soundcard support. If you plug it in, it will see it but you may do better with a clean install. Adam SuSE 93 on laptop and Desktop
