In case you would like to hear yourself, I recorded two samples of the same source. The first is recorded under Linux (driver 0.2.8) and the second under Windows (driver 1.4.00). Both use DMA recording. I also have a sample recorded through SB AWE64 but it was in this case indistinguishable from the Windows sample, so I decided not to include it. The volume has been normalized but the samples are otherwise unedited. You can find the samples there: http://members.surfeu.fi/jostman/linux7134.wav http://members.surfeu.fi/jostman/win7134.wav Both are about 650kb in size. >> As I stated in an earlier post, I had managed to record only silence >> in mono or 8-bits. > > Not reproducable here with a saa7134 card.
