Hi all,
Up until now i've been using the onboard sound on my motherboard. A friend (who isn't around at the mo) helped me set it all up and my music was playing fine with the ALSA drivers.
I bought a new soundblaster live 5.1 digital card today and have installed it in my box, but am so far having no luck getting any sound through it.
I uninstalled the alsa drivers, alsa lib and alsa utils, configured, compiled and installed all 3 again, following the instructions on this page: http :// www . alsa-project. org / alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Live&chip=EMU10K1&module=emu10k1 (sorry i had to put spaces in that url but it wouldn't let me post it because i have less than 5 posts.
)
using the configure line: ./configure --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-sequencer=yes
I then ran alsaconf, which picked up my onboard legacy sound and my new emu10k1 soundblaster card, so i let it update my /etc/modules.conf file and it said that my new soundcard was ready to use.
But, when i run alsamixer, it still says:
Card: VIA 8235
Chip: C-Media Electronics CMI9738
Item: Master
at the top and i get no sound when i try and play anything.
Any ideas what i might need to do?
Thanks a lot!
Sam Holman.
