I tryed sound in XMMS via OSS emulated output and it works great. But when I try sound output via alsa native driver, I get strange choppy sound output and this is common problem for all Software using alsa driver (KDE sound system, XMMS, ...). It seems like only 1 channel is working
1) How can I use native alsa driver?
2) How can I get 5.1 output?
Doesn't Fedora Core 3 uses the kernel 2.6? Because the chipset emu10k1 used in Sound Blasters are already in the kernel, so you should not need to do anything fancy with the drivers other then loading the module:
thanks for your reply. But I must say that you thought wrong. Soundblaster Live 24-bit is not based on Emu10k1 chipset. I find the solution.
1) use driver snd_ca0106 (not included in kernel 2.6.10-1.760_FC3, use alsa 1.0.8)
2) it seems like hardware multiplexing doesn't work, so DMIX plugin for Alsa is needed.
this must be filled in your ~/.asoundrc or in global configuration at /etc
Code:
pcm.ca0106 {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.ca0106 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "myoutput"
}
pcm.myoutput {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
}
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "myoutput"
}
It sure will. I wish more peoples would reply to their own threads saying "it works" or "it did not" or even posting a solution. Good job mate and thanks for the chipset thing. I was so sure emu10k1 was the one used on Live. I've an Audigy myself

Agreed - once a solution is found, I would encourage everyone to "close out" their threads by posting back with the steps they took to resolve the problem. This is a *huge* benefit to future readers who encounter the same issue, and will help make LQ an even more useful resource. -- J.W.
