-====== Soundsetup ======
-For real nice cinema sound I use a Soundblaster [[http://www.soundblaster.com/products/sblive/specs.asp|Live Player! 5.1]] card by Creative. I use the driver that comes with the kernel:
-  Sound  --->
-    <M> Sound card support
-    <M>   Creative SBLive! (EMU10K1)
-    [*]     Creative SBLive! MIDI
-To setup everything install and run the alsa util config:
-  #> apt-get install alsa-utils
-  #> alsaconf
-{{ ding:soundconnector.jpg?250 }}
-The Soundblaster Live is a 5.1 digital sound card. But for actually having a digital connection to my receiver I needed a fancy cable: The card does have a digital out port but it's a 1/8 minijack (basicly this is a mono walkman connector). Somehow I really had a cable with such a minijack on one side and a cinch coax plug at the other side laying around - don't ask me where that came from.
-The next problem after connecting the sound card to your HiFi system is to enable the digital out. To do so run [[man>alsamixer]] and browse the mixer controls far to the right to a control labeled ''SB Live'', hit the ''m'' key to unmute the control.
-To be able to use the sound device as normal user you should set up some permissions and add the user to the audio group.
-  #> chown root:audio /dev/dsp
-  #> chown root:audio /dev/mixer
-  #> chmod 664 /dev/dsp
-  #> chmod 664 /dev/mixer
