Re: [SuSE Linux] Ensonique PCI Audio cards & 2.2.1.
I've been having a very interesting problem relating to this, starting with 2.2.1 and now with 2.2.2. When than sound driver loads, every mouse movement and every drive read or write causes a low frequency noise that emulates the drive activity or mouse movement to be emitted from the speakers. Figure *that* one out.
Yes, I have precisely the same problem. Are you also using the es1370 driver? I haven't checked out the OSS or ALSA drivers with the new kernel yet (the latter seem to be highly recommended). They might offer a possible workaround. Just a hunch, but the feedback, to me, seems to be related with the high volume setting necessary to hear any sound output on the card. By cranking the volume to "eleven" (so to speak), the always-present noise produced by mouse movement may be made audible. There's a lot of stray low-frequency noise in computer cases these days, what with the amount of cards connected to expansion slots. Again, this is just a hunch. -- Glenn -- - 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>>

That may be true, but being a lame brain, I posted this even though I have a SBawe64, not an ensonic. Sorry, just didn't even pay attention to the subject line. I do find it interesting that we have the same problemo with two different cards, though. I will try the aformentioned drivers when I get a chance (== hell_freeze_over()) -- lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * Yep.
