Re: [Alsa-user] Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit & M-Audio Audiophile 2496

[Michael C. <fr...@gm...>]

I've had similar problems with my on board sound, USB external sound devices
work well.  It seemed to be more of a problem with the gstreamer framework
being borked with ubuntu than anything else.  If I remember, I will back up
my anecdotal quip with evidence from the ubuntu forums and launchpad issues
I've raised and viewed.
