Hi there, I'm very newbie to linux, I've recently installed Red Hat 9 and I have no sound on my system.

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy and a Creative Inspire 5700 speaker set connected on the SPDIF (digital out) of the soundcard.

In the soundcard detection, the module apeared disabled
First I tryed to instal the emu10k1 driver, that didnt worked has the driver didnt find the kernel source (I think it shoul be in /usr/src/linuxb but its not...)

Second attempt was the opensound, installed it but still no sound, oh wait, yes there is, but only if I have the speakers plugged into the analog out (acctualy I had the headphones plugged there at the time, or else I wouldn't even guessed it). The soundcard detection now dislplays "Module: audigy". I still cant ear the test sound, nor in SPDIF or analog.

At last the xmms, after installing the mpg123 plugin to be able to listen mp3, when trying to play a file... Error: Couldn't open audio, bla bla.

I could use some compreeensive help plz. If any more info needed plz tell me.
Thanks in advance to anyone.

The emu10k1 should be already onboard and works rather well, there's also a package of tools that comes with it, called emu-tools that allows you to switch the primary out from analog to digital, its been mentioned on the sight before what the command is... do a search for "emu-tools" will probably bring it up, if not, post back and I can track it down. To load the emu10k1 driver onboard:

/sbin/modprobe emu10k1

as root,

Cheers,
