I'd like to get a usb soundblaster and would like to know what might work. Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth Lee" To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 10:25 PM Subject: RE: System-config-soundcard Alex and David, thanks for getting me on the right track. I installed ISAPNPTools and the pnpdump utility reports that I do indeed have an ISA adaptor. It's a Crystal Audio CS1436b and I did find it on alsa-project.org, but after reading how to get it working, I decided to try my USB SoundBlaster and I am please to report the SB is working great. I also expect the sound quality from the external adaptor is much better than the built-in one. I'm still having problems playing mp3's though. I tried installing trplayer, but it says I'm missing the libslang (slang) libraries. The trplayer web page has a link to get the slang libs, but I'm not sure what to do with them....oh, but I did get RealPlayer v8 installed. I also tried mplayer (all lower case), but it doesn't seem to recognize the mp3 as a mp3. It just spouts all this junk about caching so many bytes and the hard drive is really working as if it were playing, but no sound. I'll have to try some other mp3 players. So much to learn....so little time. Thanks all for your help, Ken -N5SWR -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of David Bruzos Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 6:08 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: System-config-soundcard Hello again: Alex, good thinking. I forgot about the PCI and ISA differences. Anyway, my card is a PCI, so if Ken's card is an ISA, my driver might not work...
