Hi,
I am a fairly recent home user of Linux - I installed Mandrake 9.2 for
the first time successfully on one of my PCs last week. It includes an
M-Audio delta 66 soundcard, which I would like to use for recording.
The Mandrake installer detected the card and installed the Envy24 ./
ice1712 driver.
However, I am unable to do much with the card. I tried a CD player
application that came with mandrake - I can't recall the name right now
- and i played the CD, but the sound was very choppy, and the volume
extremely low through the SPDIF output. I had to turn my 100W amp all
the way up to hear anything ! Under normal circumstances that sound
level would be unbearable.
Is anyone else using this soundcard successfully under Linux ?
I would like to use it do some recordings and edits. I am also looking
for a good application to use with the card.
While I'm new to Linux, I am very experienced with audio - I have been
writing audio programs for DOS and OS/2 since 1989. And I may do so for
Linux as well, but first I need to get started as a user to see what
works and what does not. I am not really new to Linux as I have been
writing server code for it for years for my employer, but I never used
Linux on a desktop machine yet.
Thanks,
Julien
