Sound Troubles with Audigy 2 ZS Platinum on ALSA

cspos · 06-29-2005, 08:21 PM

Coming fresh off of a Debian Sid install, rhythmbox doesn't work. When I try to play a song, I get this error:

Code:

Could not create audio output element; check your settings

But sound works fine under other programs like XMMS and MythTV.

For some reason, none of the audio inputs on the card work. I've tried the line in on the back, and other inputs on the front panel. If I go to Gnome's Volume Control applet from the panel and click Open Volume Control, I don't have the option to set the devices in there as recording devices, which I'm sure I could do with my SB Live 5.1. All of the input channels in there and through alsamixer are unmuted. I'm not sure if I missed that anywhere else.

lspci sees the card:

Code:

0000:00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)
0000:00:0d.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy MIDI/Game port (rev 04)
0000:00:0d.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port (rev 04)

What am I missing?

And on a side note: is there any way to get the remote working?

Anyone?

Did you ever get the card inputes working?

Still no luck. Anyone?

By the way, I've got rhythmbox working now, but no inputs.

The outputs were working fine until I ran alsaconf. Now I can only get sound out of the headphone output on the front panel.

Installing gstreamer0.8-esd fixed it for me.

Have you installed ld10k1 on you system? If yes, you must configure it or desinstall it, because you will get a very wird behaviour from alsa if it is installed but not configured.
