[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio in general - does it make sense?

'Twas brillig, and Gene Heskett at 03/01/10 21:56 did gyre and gimble:

Indeed it is. The HDMI card is turned off so it shouldn't be getting in
your way and the Audigy2 is listed as "SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] Analog
Stereo". I presume from this output that everything is showing up OK?

Also how are you looking for your devices? I see you are running KDE as
my module-device-manager is loaded. Perhaps the problem here is actually
related to the KDE interaction... if e.g. "mplayer somefile.mp3" works
OK and shows up in pavucontrol but e.g. amarok or dragonplayer does not,
then this is probably indicative of that. If so, please open a mandriva
bug report so I can track it.

I notice from the arguments in module-udev-detect that you are using the
more modern access mode. You could try disabling glitch-free mode in
draksound to see if the older, interrupt driven mode will work better
with the Audigy2. It's always worth trying although I am keeping my eyes
on a possible regression with this interrupt mode:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537378 so be mindful of that.

Cheers
