Hi all
Mandrake 10 had installed my soundcard as a
`CS 4614/22/24 [Crystalclear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator]`
I get perfect sound from my front speakers.
However , I don't get any sound out of the headphone socket?
I just tried plugging speakers into rear speaker socket and there's no sound coming from there either.
In kmix the phones are there and unmuted, still no luck.
Anyone else using this card that can give me some advice please?
many thanks
Phil

Terratec DMX XFire 1024:
The DMX XFire 1024 doesn't get initialized correctly the first time
the alsa modules are loaded. Sound is heavily distorted. Usually
reloading the modules solves this problem. One can do that
autmatically by loading, unloading and reloading the modules in
the bootscripts.

Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1 (what a long name)
It proved to behave a bit strange for me. (At least) with 0.9.3c
drivers, make sure you enable the external_amp since the card isn't
recognized by the driver yet. If you don't do this, sound may be
interrupted with noise bursts and will eventually fail. This might be
especially hard to troubleshoot if you're dual-booting with Windows
since the Windows drivers seem to leave the card in a useable state,
but the problem will occur again after a cold boot.

Tried on alsa-driver-0.9.3c on Gentoo. Apparently, Cirrus Logic is
holding information about DSP code on this chipset, which leads to
only one output accessible by alsa.
Even though sound on that output is absolutely superb, the card
has three more, and one digital output. I recommend making Cirrus
an offer they can't refuse.

I have a Digital 7.1, and my Dolby Digital receiver need the bit flags
of the S/P-DIF transport stream for identifying none audio, and it don't
works with ALSA (at least with the CVS from 2003-06-20), so if you're
receiver also need it, take another card ;-)
(for example for me the emu10k1 works perfectly).

Using the Hercules Fortissimo II (cs4624),rear speakers are enabled by
enabling the "headphones" volume, in alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer or
relatives; maybe it's just me (!). I've seen no option available for
front or rear speakers volume, hope this works for any of you!

The reports that digital out doesn't work on Terratex DMX XFire 1024
are false, at least for the newest ALSA versions. The optical digital
out works fine on my DMX XFire. The only problem seems to be that
alsamixer mutes the digital out at startup by default (bug?), so
one has to unmute "IEC598 0" every time the computer is
tarted to get any sound.

Santa Cruz cs46xx driver:
There is a known problem with random metallic distortion during recording and playback:
(SEE: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09687.html)
Antidotal Fixes:
Recording: Open alsamixer and toggle Capture on and off with the [space bar].
Playback: Open alsamixer and toggle ADC and DAC levels ([0] for off,
[PgUp] for incremental increases)
Playback: Open alsamixer and togge External on and off with [M].
XMMS/General: stop and start playback (not pause) OR close and reopen application.
Last Option: reload modules
1) Close or kill all applications using sound (e.g. XMMS, aRts, volume controls).
2) # modprobe -r cs46xx
3) # modprobe cs46xx
(snd-cs46xx may be the correct name, esp. in 2.4.x kernels.)
(Debian users may use # /etc/init.d/alsa force-reload)
(NOTE: Monolithic kernels will require a computer reboot.)

Hi
Last post is good... It solved my problems! I was about to buy a new sound card...
The distorsions weren't mettallic at all... It was simply "saturated"
("saturé" in french - i'm french).
I ALWAYS got this probleme under Linux. I think so many newbies like
me will have the same probleme... I hope they 'll read this page.
