Hi Dave (list),
This brings up a question that has been on my mind lately - what tools
or process do you use to find out what the best settings are for an
internal soundcard?
Hi Josh,
Here's Dave's can't-lose process:
0) Experiment to exhaustion.
1) Search Google with high hopes.
2) Send message of desperation to Linux Audio Users list.
3) Profit!
More seriously, the available tools (lspci, lsusb, etc) can tell you
what's there - possibly with default values - but they don't tell you
what's optimal. I'm not sure they could, given the influence of other
factors e.g. shared IRQs, interface bus, other hardware/mobo considerations.
A system analysis tool would be nice, especially one targeted to
configuring an audio production system for a Linux box.
Best,
dp
