Hi, Is this driver known to be 100% working? I'm running stable 6.2 p6 righ= t now and have this device driver installed (device sound and device snd= _emu10k1 compiled into the kernel) for use with a Creative Live! card. = Audio outputs work correctly, and the various players will produce audio= as expected via the PCM control. Line input works as well. 'mixer' wo= rks as does KDE's kmix (they track each other). I've also installed the= driver via kldload at boot, but it makes no difference. I'm unable to successfully record audio from the line input of this Crea= tive Live! card. Either using the generic /dev/dsp as the recording sou= rce, or individual devices /dev/dsp0.0 and up, dspW0.0 and up, or dspr0.= 4/5. There's just no audio there. For the recording software I've used Krec, ffmpeg, darkice and streamTra= nscoder (the latter two feeding an icecast server). 'mixer' has its rec= ording device (=3Drec) set to line in, and I'm feeding audio to line in = (analog) and spdif in (digital). There's no problem monitoring the 'lin= e in' buss on the outputs, but there's no audio on the record output dev= ice. dmesg shows the driver being installed, and cat /dev/sndstat shows it is= active on pcm0. If I cat /dev/sndstat with a higher verbosity (set wit= h sysctrl) it shows that the record devices should be dsp0.4 and dsp0.5,= line and mic in respectively. The man page for snd_emu10k1 says the re= cording devices should be dspr0.4 and dspr0.5 but only if they're drivin= g a codec directly -- I'm not sure what that means exactly. There's no sound daemons like esound or artsd running during these tests= . The ports being tested as an input device seem to open correctly and = show up as read devices in fstat. I've also tried the snd_emu10kx driver to no avail. Has anyone had experience using the Live! sound card and these drivers? = And if so, is recording correctly supported? I have other sound cards available, but none of them seem to have driver= support in FreeBSD. One is a Delta (Midiman) 410 with an ICE1712 chip,= and the other is a Turtle Beach TB400 (not a Santa Cruz) with Vortex AU= 8830A2 chip. Both cards have analog and digital ins and outs. Anyone with insight on any of this? --Bill
