Dear Sindi,

(*) These numbers varied all the times the test was performed.

I've downloaded 'workbone.tgz' from Slackware 4.0 but I'd forgotten to 'pkg'
it...

Now I have good sound quality for audio CDs, except for the fact of having
only the "R" channel.

"L" is muted somehow with a little "buzzing" in background (not only under
BL3 but also under every other Linuxes I've tried).
I think Windows uses some different proccess, because I can get both
channels with it, but then the sound quality is not "that" bad - but just
fair.

So I suppose something in the SB card is out of order and I'll have to take
a further look on it.

Unhappily the most of my hardware came to me through donations and some
peripherals are very old - others were dead.

I can say the sound (software) is OK and I have learnt a lot, thanks to you.

Since 'workbone' is a non-X application the menu becomes visually strange.
Is there a way of working around it? ( Just for curiousity: This isn't so
important after all ) .

Thanks for your kind attention.
