First of all, I had to start using all 5 channels before any sound came out. At that moment, a weird distorted version of *all* channels started coming out of the speakers and I killed the audio thingies 1 by 1. The sound quality is really lousy - a kind of hissing crackling sound is in the songs (mostly drums/metal guitar, voice seems not to be affected as much). Tweaking the sysctl's had no effect that I could discern. I also got the following errors in dmesg: pcm0:slave:3: play interrupt timeout, channel dead pcm0:slave:4: play interrupt timeout, channel dead Greetings, Sebastiaan Ariff Abdullah wrote: > On Tue, 08 Nov 2005 14:05:15 +0100 > Sebastiaan van Erk wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>Still no sound no.
