Audigy Value Linux Driver?

Can anyone help me find the driver for Sound Blaster audigy value sound card. I install Fedora 8 but the sound comes only in the front speaker.
Please help

I never played with fedora but try running from a console this command that will give you all the control for your card
alsamixer
if u see a bar marked MM at the bottom its because its mute, use the arrow to select the bar and press 'm'
hope this help

Also adjust volumes with alsamixer (if you have that)
Then save it : alsactl store

Good Luck

Thanks for your reply but it didn't work....

I tried using .asoundrc file but the sound distribution is not good...the rear speaker can get only the duplicate of front or average...here is the sample of my asoundrc file...

Quote:

# Personal: ~/.asoundrc
# Global: /etc/asound.conf

pcm.!dmix {
type plug
slave {
pcm surround41
channels 5
}
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
slave.channels 5
route_policy duplicate #here instead of duplicate average also work
}

Do you have any idea how i can solve this so that I can get normal surround sound
