I've been searching around the boards for some sort of solution to my problem, but I have yet to find anything so I'm just going to post...

I have a sound blaster audigy 2 NX (the external USB one) and it's all plugged in and stuff, works fine in windows, however, Linux just won't let me use it. My default install of Slack 10 saw the audigy, but I didn't know how to select it as a sound card. I updated all my packages using swaret, and then my sound stopped working period. I reinstalled alsa and now my onboard sound works again, but I'd really like to get this audigy NX working. When I go to the volume control (where it listed my audigy last time) I get an error about there being no sound device to use. (I have sound still though!!) so I'm quite confused at this point and am not really sure what to do.

Thanks,

Brian
