No Sound: Alsa 1.0.3, Kernel 2.6.4, Creative Audigy


Hi, here's my story:
So... I updated to 2.6.4( wasn't worth that...) and theres no sound. Did that, did other things, at last i disabled OSS and ALSA support in the integrated kernel, recompiled the kernel with no sound. Then downloaded the latest stable ALSA drivers(1.0.3) and installed them, did modprobe snd-emu10k1, alsamixer anda alsactl store and at last i was able to hear that sweet sound... but everytime i reboot the sound is gone and i have to to do the whole install thing . I've tried after rebooting to do only modprobe or to check alsamixer, but it was saying everything is fine, alsamixer shows my card: Creative Audigy, but when i use alsaconf, it can't find any cards. Waiting for suggestions.

Hi,

I'm using 2.6.4 and an Audigy. No problems so far using the kernel built-in alsa drivers.

Just remember to turn up the volume once you boot with the new kernel and store the values if you don't do that at shutdown (as root, type "alsactl store").

Also, getting sound from my line in was a little bit tricky: I had to turn an strange channel up to hear something (I don't remember it's name and I can't check it since I'm not at home).

I have compiled audigy support directly into kernel, not as a module.

Bye

Thanks for your reply, i have also tried to use built-in alsa kernel drivers, but i was a bIg headache for me, it didin't find my card, i had to recompile the kernel like ~6 times, but still the built-in alsa didin't work, so i've tried to remove it and install it as a module. THen it work - at least worked for the moment after installing it. Yes i did alsactl store and stuff and as i sayd i check alsamixer everytime i reboot so i can't understand where's the problem.
