I just installed SuSE 8.0 Professional on a fresh hard disk. I've been using Mandrake 8.1 successfully since last December. My sound card is an Ensoniq ES1370. The processor is a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB of RAM. When I play back a recording made under SuSE 8.0 with Broadcast 2000, the playback is at approximately double speed. However, the pitch is OK. There are some weird artifacts, too, like small bits are missing. This happens whether I play the WAV file under Broadcast or with Audacity. Recordings made with Audacity under SuSE 8.0 play fine, as do recordings made with Broadcast 2000 under Mandrake 8.1. Broadcast 2000 is set up for 16 bit word length and 44100 KHz sampling rate. Has anyone seen this? I don't know what to try next. Aside from this, I like SuSE better than Mandrake. However, for a variety of reasons, not least that I am used to it, I'd like to stick with Broadcast 2000 for recording. Thanks. Howard Sanner flagstad(a)mindspring.com
