I hate to follow up to my own post; however, I managed to get the card working well with the alsa cs46xx driver. This would imply to me that it's a bug in the linux kernel driver for the cs46xx (is this referred to as the oss driver?).
BTW, someone suggested I simply turn the volume down using the hardware buttons on the keyboard. The poor sound quality is really irrespective of the speaker volume. Maybe this wasn't clear when I talked about the "higher-levels of output". I'm not sure about the right vocabulary. I guess it's the power output on the individual frequency bands. -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug@lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
