I'm having the same problems. I have a December '98 SB Live card with the daughter card, and I also experience distorted sound, and error messages on my console: "pcm0: pci error". The sound does work, but it was *much* better under one of the early 4.0-STABLEs. In the past I've sent a few emails to this list re this issue, and also to one of the pcm driver programmers, but no luck yet :-/ Ernst Stephen Krauth wrote: > On Mon, 16 Oct 2000, Drew Sanford wrote: > > > I'm using 4.1, and have a full SBLive (the one with the digital IO > > daughter card) that works like a champ.
