I don't know how much experience you guys have with emu10k1 Soundblaster drivers, but here goes: I have a Gateway OEM soundblaster SBLive card in my machine, and I'm trying to configure it to output in digital through its primary miniplug jack. The manpage for emu-config notes specifically that my card isn't supported yet for this, but when I run emu-config -d to enable digital output, it works. It actually cuts out sometimes, but I can deal with that. My actual question is this: When I restart, it appears as if digital output has been turned off. Because it's a driver setting, I would've imagined that it would've persisted after rebooting. Why would it be turning off, and how can I set my system up so that it's always in this mode (will it require an entry into a startup script?, and if so, which one?) ? wow, that was a lot of questions I have a related problem. I use kmix in kde to handle my mixing needs, and I bind a couple of my internet keyboards keys to volume control. 1) there's a setting in emu-config that allows me to set the mixing device. i think it defaults to /dev/mixer. if I'm using kmix, do I need to change this, or does kmix also go through /dev/mixer? 2) the key bindings for this don't stick. when i'm back into kde after rebooting, the kmix key bindings are back to how they were before I recently changed them. Could this be due to the fact that I reboot my computer by running /sbin/reboot? If so, what command can I use so that kde shuts down and logs out normally (and saves all this keybinding data)? thanks justin _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
