Curious to see if you found a solution yet. I have a similar situation. In researching this forum, I haven't found anything that would work. (But I'll keep trying! :p )

I just got my SB32 (ISA PnP card) working yesterday using the instructions at

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Creative_Labs

I didn't have to download anything - just changed the modprobe files and loaded the modules into the kernel. Worked like a charm - you have to edit the configuration in both /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf

Good luck!

For others who may have this card, I got it to work by following in the instructions in this thread (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3034&highlight=isa+sound). However, everything defaults to 0 (zero) whenever I reboot. No big deal, just a minor inconvenience. Any ideas on how to configure the settings to stay put?

P.S. Thanks for the help Tashiro!

Set them using alsamixer (which is what I'm assuming you did), then (as root) invoke alsactl store - there should be a couple of lines in your /etc/modprobe.conf file that look like this:

install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

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

Note that it invokes restore when the module is loaded and store when the module is unloaded - this explicitly sets on boot and saves on clean shutdowns.

Thanx! Everything now works! Woo-hoo!
