Pain to install with SuSE. Had to do these steps
1)run 'alsaconfig'
2)Select 'Legacy ISA (non PnP) chips'
3)Close the terminal
4)Open KAMix audio mixer and uncheck any box that says MUTE, raise any bar up to 80+%
5)play a mp3 of your favorite tune
Hope this helps anyone with this issue.

This Kernel sees the card as Audigy 2 Value [SB0400].
The configuration files in the /proc/asound directory are quite different to those generated by the original Slackware 10.1 Kernel, 2.4.29.
However it works fine, even though alsamixer shows different components.

Install:
Simple emerge alsa-driver and add it to boot runlevel with rc-update, then unmute the channels.
Using:
Hardware mixing and everything works fine, although, the gnome-volume-control in 2.10 (using the alsa mixer) shows all the inactive volume controls and doesn't show the capture volume settings properly (shows duplicate controls and won't control them right).
It also shows many PCI Send Bus controls and things which I think are used for controlling EAX effects.
This, however, is a problem with gnome/gstreamer maybe, and the command line amixer and alsamixer work fine.
I would like EAX controls to be properly supported under linux though, but it's not really very important.

Installed drivers perfectly, but made the onboard sound the default soun, simply solved by turning of the onboard sound in the bios.

Generally OK. However drivers are a bit of a problem. First of all on my system alsa drivers newer than 1.0.11 conflict with mozilla flash plugin, causing sound device to become busy until mozilla is closed. Second thing is that I was never able to get the microphone working with skype, although this wasn't a problem with my previous on-board card. Finally, 24bit sound isn't supported by the driver, so practically card is 16-bit under linux. I haven't tested the card with 5.1 speakers, only stereo.
