[linux-audio-user] feedback using usb-audio and mdk 9.0

hi, i've now reinstalled mandrake 9.0 and successfully got audio running, but the sound quality is heavily distorted. it can't be a usb mouse conflict, as patrick suggested, as i am not running any other usb devices concurrently with my quattro - i only have one usb port on my thinkpad 600E. does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? it seems very strange as everything worked fine with tarball alsa 0.9.rc5 and mandrake 8.2 - i'm now using the supplied rpm versions of alsa with mandrake 9.0 - i prefer to use the alsa-project.org tarballs, but in this case i have decided to stick with the supplied rpms to avoid conflicts as happened earlier. i'm also currently installing kevin ernste's turnkey linux audio system. thanks in advance m~ -- iriXx www.iriXx.org copyleft: creativity, technology and freedom? info(a)copyleftmedia.org.uk www.copyleftmedia.org.uk _ ( ) ascii ribbon against html email X / \ cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/dsp *** stopping make sense ***
