[Fixed] Audigy 2 [SB0240] / Alsa 1.0.10 / No Sound
Hi,
Im running Debian [unstable] and I've just installed the latest kernel available, 2.6.15, from source.
However, I dont get any sound anymore, everything seems to play fine but theres no sound. Its like its muted, although I'm sure its not.
I checked in alsamixer both Master and PCM arn't muted, IEC958 Optical Raw is off and Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack is on (I've tried different combinations of those two).
The card is a "Creative Labs SB0240 Audigy 2 Platinum 6.1"
