A different SBLive! - EMU10k1 issue
Setup: RH9, kernel 2.4.20-8 on Intel686, 1GB RAM, Asus P4-T, Soundblaster Live!, 3com 9c905B, NVidia Geforce3Ti200-128mb
My Soundcard stopped working properly after I had installed a SiteCom USB2.0 PCI card that also needed IRQ9. The first reboot after that I got a messages that for that session audio output would be redirected to /dev/null.
After a long & extensive trial and error period I decided to remove the USB2 device from my PC and relocate the SBLive! to another slot, resetting the BIOS settings to automatic for all PCI-slots (like before) and restart, because I can't get the sound back up like it should and I wanted to backtrace the problem.
Now the card is recognized at boottime, and the required modules are loaded (or so it seems).
Still, in my KDE/X environment (haven't tested in runlevel3) no single application manages to output sound at all, EXCEPT for Mozilla and some websites using (what I think is) flash/shockwave apps which produce sound like before. (Glad I at least know the hardware DOES work somewhat & somehow). "Detect Soundcard" produces no sound either, and in "Control Center - Information - Sound" all I get is "No information available about Soundcard". Tried switching to Gnome instead to see if KDE perhaps is at fault, but problem remained.
I have no clues left as to how to fix this issue and am about to do a clean RH9 install.... SIGH, the windows method. So good help appreciated.
See below the (I think) relevant sections of lsxxx commands and /var/log/messages
TIA

Not that it will matter much maybe, but I ran lsusb as well and the 'interesting bit' to me is that it starts with several lines like below:

(and then some 40 more, followed by USB device specs, no weird stuff)
