Audigy-LS device characteristics: o 8/16/24 bit playback/record o mono/stereo/4/5.1 playback o 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 o The AudigyLS has 4 mixer controls for each channel. o 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. o LoopBack recording allows you to capture any channel that's playing audio. o Record Volume slider just adjusts the input gain. o Record Source selector selects the input. o The "recmon" button enables a passthrough of the analog input signal. o Monitor Volume slider sets the passthrough gain if recmon is enabled. OPTIONS o audigyls_spdif_enable=0|1 The Audigy LS has a versa-jack (orange) that can be set as SPDIF output or the Side-Surround left/right speakers in a 7.1 setup. When set as SPDIF, you can get play PCM/AC3 audio to a Dolby(R) capable receiver. FILES CONFIGFILEPATH/oss_audigyls.conf Device configuration file AUTHOR 4Front Technologies
