CA0106 Sound Card Issue

#1 Post by N00bx1000 »

I know my hardware works, but I'm unable to get my sound to function correctly. After running alsawizard and selecting CA0106, I was getting only static. I've used retrovol and alsamixer to try and determine the issue. The weird part is that when I turn master volume and analog front to 100% the static nearly subsides and get a whisper out of youtube videos.

By the way, ticking the box for IEC958, in retrovol, stops the static but produces no sound.

Any advice leading to a solution is greatly appreciated.

I am intrigued by your usage of the word 'static'
What do you mean?

Why not use the more well known term white noise?
