DESCRIPTION

       Open Sound System driver for Creative Labs Audigy2-LS and SBLive 24bit 7.1 soundcards.

       Audigy-LS device characteristics:

              •  8/16/24 bit playback/record

              •  mono/stereo/4/5.1 playback

              •  8KHz to 192Khz sample rate.

       AUDIGYLS MODELS

       There are 2 models of the AudigyLS device: one with an AC97 codec called the AudigyLS and the one without
       called the SBLive 7.1. Essentially they are the same chip but behave a bit differently.

       When playing AC3 on the AudigyLS (the one with the AC97 mixer) - you need to ensure that the igain slider
       is set to 0.

        AUDIGYLS MIXER

       •  The AudigyLS has 4 mixer controls for each channel.

       •  The  "spread"  button  will  simply  duplicate  the  front audio on the other 3 channels so that every
          speaker is playing what the front L/R is playing.

       •  LoopBack recording allows you to capture any channel that's playing audio.

       •  Record Volume slider just adjusts the input gain.

       •  Record Source selector selects the input.

       •  The "recmon" button enables a passthrough of the analog input signal.

       •  Monitor Volume slider sets the passthrough gain if recmon is enabled.

OPTIONS

       •  audigyls_spdif_enable=0|1 The Audigy LS has a versa-jack (orange) that can be set as SPDIF  output  or
