My new Creative Labs E-MU 0404 gives no sound through my Fedora Core 3 system. It works perfectly if I boot into my "shudder!", Win 2000 hdd. My info is as follows and could the problem stem from Linux conflicting the onboard sound with the E-MU?

I would try turning off the on-board sound through your bios and then see if it works. Also you might not have the right module (snd_emu10k1) loaded as some of the newer audigy cards use a different module. Here's a post I read:

Hi,

snd-emu10k1 is not right driver for you.

SB Live 24 bit has nothing to do with old sb live - this is diffrent card.

Support for this card was added to alsa only recently (only analog
output works).

You have to use CVS version of alsa. Use ca0106 driver (this is
renamed audigyls driver).

Peter Zubaj

I don't know how similar your card is to the one in that post, but it gives you something to look into.

try alsaconf

Thanks belkens. I downloaded alsaconf, extracted it and got;
[root@localhost alsaconf-0.4.3b]# ls
alsaconf alsaconf.spec COPYING mkpacks README

Now how do I use it?
Thanks
