Sound Cards
The XdTV compatible sound cards list
is not really known. It must be very close to the ones of OSS and
ALSA projects:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
Nevertheless, we
suggest you to use one Creative Labs
card.
These cards are known
to work correctly with XdTV:
- Creative Labs
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live 1024
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live Value
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE 64 ISA
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PCI
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy
- Carte son intégré AC'97
So,
Creative Labs Sound Blaster cards are really adviced.
We also suggest you to use the ALSA 1.x drivers rather
than OSS ones. With OSS drivers
you
can come across some disadvantages (sound and video not synchronized
for example). This problem will not appear with ALSA drivers.
In fact, XdTV is optimized for ALSA drivers.
Here is the web adress of ALSA project:

To easily configure your
sound card you could use alsaconf script:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/driver/alsaconf/.
This software will modify your modules.conf file
(the
modules.conf file is into the /etc folder).
