Audigy 2: No soundcard found...(alsaconf)


Hi all,

I purchased the SB 7.1 Audigy Value yesterday and installed it on my Asus A7V333 (after disabeling the onboard sound with jumpers). On Windows the card runs quiet fine, but on my Mandrake 10.1 I've some problems....

Here's what I did:
/etc/module:
Added emu10k1

/etc/modules.conf
probeall scsi_hostadapter imm ppa

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 emu10k1
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

probeall usb-interface usb-uhci ehci-hcd
alias eth0 8139too

/etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 8139too
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe imm; /sbin/modprobe ppa; /bin/true

install emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove emu10k1

install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia
options sound-slot-0 index=0
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1


ALSA seems to regognize the card (or at least the drivers), as it starts up pretty fine. But in the /dev folder, there are no devices created (no /dev/dsp, /dev/autio, /dev/sound/*)
Also alsaconf does not find any card!

When I do a lsmod | grep emu, I can see the module loaded quiet fine. A lspci shows up this:
00:10.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs: Unknown device 0008
which, looks like that the card doen't identify itself correct....or!?

Can anyone please help? I googled around several hours yesterday without any solution....

Thanks for all answers!

Dirk

I use the SB Audigy2 on FC3 with the emu10k1 driver.
do a lsmod and see if the emu10k1 driver is loading,if so, goto
kmix if you use kde and check to see if the slide levels are properly enabled
check if the PCM level is up. kmix settings are the number one problems with getting a
soundcard to work.

LOL
