Hello :-) Recently I have switched to Creative Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] PCI audio card from SoundBlaster Live! The new audio device although using the same kernel driver have some problems with audio/video streams - sound does not resemble original at all and the video player hangs (until audio buffer is flushed I guess). Did anyone enountered similar problem? I guess there is something wrong with audio format/samplerate conversion...?
