No sound coming from my sound blaster audigy 2 ZS platinum sound card
It says that it has my drivers and is working fine but when i try to play the test/sample sound i can't hear anything. Can anybody help? It's a failry expensive sound card and i want to use it!
I am new to linux myself ( just installed Linux 10/07/2006 ). I am also expieriencing the same problem with Fedora Core 4. I read the posts here that suggested opening the aslamixer and adjusting the digital/analog switch. The only problem that presents for me is I don't know where to find the aslamixer. Like I said, I am very new to Linux so any help will be greatly appreciated.

No matter what your Desktop Environment is, you can always open a Terminal/Console (or Konsole) window and simply type in it 'alsamixer', like a command. This'll bring up a GUI with some bars and stuff... To read the help, press F2, and then you can procede to change the volumes for playback, capture of all with F3 through F5, respectively. You close the program with the [ESC] key.
Many thanks to JediDB for helping me out with my 'No Sound' problem that I had with my Audigy 2 ZS, the answer was so simple, as they so often are, and that was to enter the 'alsamixer' and switch off the 'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Switch'. Something is obviously not quite right there as I would have thought this should be on, anyway thanks for that.
